Has anybody tried these on some dogs out of a 6.5 grendel yet ? Results ?

Missed one last night with that exact setup, going again in an hour. I'll report back if successful.

Ha. I drilled one last night shooting the discontinued 85s from Sierra, he took it like a champ but no sign of dog or blood either. That’s happened more than I care to admit. I’m a pretty decent shot and my rifles zero was fine checked today. I bought some of the factory loads just to try tonight see if it changes my luck. Everybody loves the 85s but I can’t have any luck with them.

Not a bullet bashing thread !

Well. I have killed 2 since i started using this bullet. Both was good feeling comfortable shots. First one was let’s say 150yds quartering towards me and I shot just below his neck between the front legs. He got dumped, all 4 legs went straight up, rolled over and ran 100 yards collapsing just before the wood line. Bullet did exit with about the size of a golf ball hole.
Next coyote was a 75yd broadside shot in a hurry that was a few inches behind shoulder and a tick high. He ran 120 yards pumping blood with an exit hole the size of your thumb. At least if they run they have a good blood trail to track. Might move to the 95 vmax or 90 Nosler varmageddon see if they blow up and stay inside with less runners.

The last yote I killed was at about 75 yds with 95vmax out of 6.5 creedmoor. Bullet did not exit. Dropped like stone. It was like shaking a soup can when I picked it up. That bullet is amazing.

That speed and a more fragmenting bullet must be magic.
