Title: Tried out the new Nosler bullets.....amazing
Post by: KillBilly on March 21, 2010, 05:06:27 PM: I tried out the new Nosler 40gr Lead Free Varmint rounds yesterday. I was truly amazed at what damage a 40gr bullet can do to a 3/16th inch piece of steel. We were not shooting for groups, so comments needed there. I will report on grouping later.

Bear, I believe the picture lower down on the link is showing the results in ballistic gel.
