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.

Don't listen to wiltz, he's a democrat.

Your answer is that there's no way to tell. Gotta shoot it. Oh, and LOVE that round!

The .264 is a damn hot round with the 140 gr. Why change?

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.
