Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Reliable function of Nosler BT's at lower velocities
Posted: 3/25/2006 4:14:34 AM EDT
Anyone know the minimum velocity the BT's will reliably work.

Looking to work down some loads for suppressor use.

Thanks.

No idea, but TAG.  I'm wondering at what distance could they be expected to still expand.

If you speak with Nosler they will tell you that the "hunting, i.e., Big game bullets are good down to about 1400 ft/sec's.  I would think but do not know about the varmit style BT's such as the .224 - 55 grain offering.  I would think that they, the varmit bullets should be good even lower.  

Call them and ask.
