Have any of you used the Nosler 300 grain Ballistic (Orange) Tip in .458 SOCOM on game? I checked over on 458SocomForums, but apparently no one there has killed anything with it yet.

What did you shoot with it? Hog? Whitetail? Other?

What was the range at impact?

What was the bullet's path through the animal? Behind the shoulder shot? Through both shoulders? Quartering shot? Other?

Did you recover the bullet, or was it a pass through?

How large were the entrance and exit holes?

If recovered, what was the expansion like? Did the core and jacket separate? What was the retained weight?

I'm looking for any information I can find on this bullet.

I've shot some with a 300gr Nosler ballistic tip loaded by black butterfly. Not sure if it is the same bullet though my tips looked red to me. But whatever these are the box says 300 gr Nosler balistic tip and they performed like the 325gr Hornady ftx I used 458 hole one side quarter exit bang flop on about ten hogs. Neck shots.
