i believe bomb is correct name . these new bullets from 7mm are extremely accurate and are devastating on whitetail deer. this buck is by far not best on my property but he is confirmed 8 yrs old and has broke up several good bucks and is extremely aggressive. i have tried for several years to harvest him. 11-16-15 at 1:45 pm a doe lead him out into a opening at 236 yds doped scope to 3.25 moa blackhorn powder load 2400 fps. he was perfect broadside settled crosshair on shoulder and squeezed trigger he never made a step . hunched up and fell over backwards. done .. deer field dressed at 231 lbs a definite monarch in southern indiana. i like big high scoring deer but i believe after 30 yrs of hunting and history with this deer its my best personal harvest. back to the 300 bomb. bullet smashed thru shoulder and exploded lungs and heart and blowed thru offside shoulder . entrance hole .450 exit hole 1.250 lead of bullet passed completely thru and found copper jacket in exit hole. the off side hide was shock lifted completely from ribcage. heres crazy part the taxidermist said she thinks the pressure of shock came up under hide and lifted hide loose from his jaw and forehead . she stated after skinning around bases the rest literally pulled off with fresh blood layer between skull and hide. entrance exit bullet jacket is exiting wound as i found it. bullet jacket as recovered best hunting ride ford never produced bronco/ranger been good for over 300k praise the lord!!!! thanks to all who have helped me with this custom long range muzzleloader world. love it. thanks keith for a great bullet.

bestill: When you get tired of deer hunting in the US you can haul that Bronco over to Zimbabwe and go cape buffalo hunting lol
Hankins gun is up to the task as well! And the Bomb is exactly that. Good job on those Keith.

Great deer, and it looks like some very good bullets. I'm waiting to see if there is going to be some in the 330 grain range.

Way to go Jeff! That sure is a "braggin' buck!" Any approximate on the booner score?

Great buck Jeff. Looks like some engraving of the grooves on the jacket. I think you shoot smooth form only with BH209 but just curious if that was the case.

I'm waiting to see if there is going to be some in the 330 grain range. Mid December is the goal. I should have some free time over the next two months while I'm in limbo waiting to change jobs. I intend to make a run of 300gn bullets for sale and a run of 340gn and 400gn bullets to send out for testing. I have about 1200 jackets right now ready to swage into bullets.

What a HOG, and good report on the new bullet I predict a high interest in this bullet.
