What is the best Quarter bore hunting bullet?

[blue_ridge]

Looking at all the options and would like to hear what you think is the best one for terminal performance.

You need to include the partitions and accubonds. The partition is what all others are compared too. They are both better than any of the Hornady offerings and Berger offerings if you’re looking at it strictly from a hunting bullet.

Done.

The 135 tmk when it releases will be interesting. 134 eldm might be the most consistently devastating at the moment (no experience).

I shot 3 deerts with my prc this year. 2 does with 135 bergs at 100 and 300 (3050 fps), and a muley buck at 430 with the 133 (3090 fps). The 135s actually did more damage. I also hit harder stuff and was closer. The 133 pushed about a 2.5" circle thru the lungs of the muley. Not as much goo. And surprisingly didnt hear the hit/thump like I usually do. I'll be getting the tmks to try when they come out. Both of those bergers shoot really well though!

690 yard shot video. Put another right on top of that one too.

And the mule deer at 430. Not a ton of reaction. A Lil hop and a 50 yard death run.

Terminal performance the 115gr Nosler ballistic tips have been pretty awesome for me out of .25-06’s.

The 128 ELDX is compelling.

I'm not a long distance shooter of game. 300+/- is my personal limit. That said, 110 Accubonds and 100 TTSXs give excellent performance from 3 257 Roberts.

Hammer 92 grain at 3850 fps has been good.Three mule deer at 150,400, 655 yards and a antelope at 400yards.The 100 ttsx hit great but a couple of had to hit again from shot close.

Can't speak on the new heavier bullets from personal experience because I haven't used them. I have been very pleased with the performance of the 115 HVLDs on game. They were also very easy to tune for what ever that matters. Great precision and violent.

 

[blue_ridge]

That’s good to know. VLD’s have a reputation for being finicky so I’m glad to hear they perform well and easy to load for.

I used ELD-x and no blood trail or pin point drops under 100. Once I get beyond 175 has been great

I switched to Winchester copper Impact. The gun liked it and it has been devastating under 150. You get some drops and maybe bone at the beginning and then 15 yards away is a damn murder scene until you walk up to the deer.

What speed did you have those ELDX shooting?
