Has anyone taken any big game with this bullet? How did it perform? The 270 grain bullet is very accurate in my 9.3x62, but I've never taken a large animal with it. Thanks in advance. | ||

McVik, As Mouse93 pointed out in his post I have used the 270 grain Naturalis bullet in Africa and in south Texas and have been very pleased with it's performance on larger game. The bullet's performance resembles the monometal Barnes X-bullet. I do believe the bullet handles large game 300 pounds and up better than the smaller plains game. The bullet behaved more like a solid on the lighter, thin-skinned animals and zipped though with little expansion. On my nilgai, hartebeest, roan and buffalo; however, the results were to drop the animals in their tracks with above-average penetration. Hope this helps! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

I enjoyed reading the report from Benin. Wel done I've tried Naturalis in 30-06 ,300 WM (reloading) and 9.3x62. They worked excellent on brown bear, red stag and wild bore up to 270kg (couldn't find bigger). Up to 200m my favourite coper bullet so far. | |||
