After dealing with the over pressure issues with the Hornady ammo out of the 6.5 Creedmoor I ordered some 140g NBT's. Thanks to Midway USA they arrived two days before the opener. My daughter and I sighted in the rifle the evening before antelope season and off we went opening morning. After turning down several smaller bucks she finally settled with this one. She made a perfect shot at 210 yards behind the front shoulder. The buck made it about 15 yards before he pilled up. The exit wound was approximately 3" in diameter. No meat loss due to blood shot. I'm pleased with the ammo and can't wait for the wife and daughter to try them out on mule dee in October. Gotta love Nevada!
