Thanks for sharing Berhoven, nice pic and details, except distance maybe I missed it.
This is what the 100 BT does, DRT but not much room for error and often no exit. It just doesn't have the weight to push it through after throwing off it's fragments like the similar constructed 120 BT does. Really wish Nosler would give it a thicker jacket as they have done w other BTs or Accubond it. Like I've said in other posts most 100s work great in .257 caliber but bullet manufacturers (and many 6.5mm shooters) think that with the faster twisted 6.5s we need to shoot 120-140s and the lighter weight bullets suffer from lack of interest. I have a box of 100g BTs and a box of 100g Hornady SPs but I'll use em up practicing and take the 100g TTSXs hunting. BTW the 100g H SPs are a bit tougher than the BT.
