OB Ballistics Experts...Switching Ammo (Posted on 11/10/12 at 1:18 pm)
Swapping from Winchester SuperX 140gr to Nosler Ballistic Tip 130gr in a .264 Win Mag. In your opinion how far off do you think the Nosler will be at 100 yd?

That's a tough question, the velocity/bullet type change could create bullet drop differences. I can't imagine that the poi would change very much horizontally. My guess would be it will be within 1-2" of the previous ammo's point of impact. I'm guessing it will hit high when compared to the SuperX.

ok. I shot two Winchester rounds at 100 yards that were dead on. Then shot new Nosler twice. Vertically virtually no difference but were 6" to the right. Was able to bring them back to dead center but just did not and still dont understand how there can be that much difference at 100yds. Thoughts?

that is a tough question and cant really be answered in my opinion. different guns like different rounds. your gun might love that round, or it might not.
How tight of a group are you trying to get at 100yards?
for example, my .308 likes heavier rounds and my 7mag like lighter rounds for tight grouping.

The nosler ballistic tip was horrible in my .270 I shot 4 deer with it. I was lucky to find the deer, did a lot damage at entry but no exit and blood clotted the whole side the deer I lost lot of meat. But the worst problem was no exit hole so no blood. One doe I shot in the neck so that was no problem but I shot 3 bucks broadside behind the should and all 3 times the bullet made a right turn went through guys and had pieces of bullets in hindquarters and in the foot. After the third time this happened I changed bullets. It left zero blood trail each time I just happened I walk up on the deer.
