Has anyone used these on game. I noticed they can be launched at 25-06 100 gr velocities! Anyone have a load or shot any big game with them?

I've shot them in my M700 260. They are a not a bad bullet.

My two best loads are:

42.7 grs. RL15/CCI BR-2 = 3034 fps

43.0 grs. Varget/CCI BR-2 = 3072 fps

Accuracy is quite good, MOA or less. I've only shot one coyote with the 100 gr. NBT. 70 yard shot, hit him where his neck meets shoulders. Blew a softball sized exit hole. This is one explosive bullet, I'd imagine it would be like lightning on deer when placed in the lungs. Find the shoulder, and that wouldn't be pretty. [Eek!]

When I first got a 260 shot one in the neck with a 100 gr partion,when I field dressed it everything inside was jelly.Have taken deer with the 100,125,140 and all are awesume.shot one with the 140 rem factory and it blew the whole pouch out the exit hole,never seen anything like that in all my 50 + yrs of hunting.Last one I shot 110 yds in the throat with a reload 140 rem corelock.
Finally going to get to try the 129 gr this year because I finally found a load that shoots the 129 gr.
