1. Didn’t say the entire bullet bounced off, maybe separated jacket and complete bullet get confusing here?
2. I’m not the Original Poster
3. Didn’t know hunting experience was proven by post count on a forum
4. There are plenty of others that have had similar problems

5. When Nosler themself let’s you talk to a bulletsmith over the phone and he tells you he wouldn’t use the 55NBT for front facing coyotes and to go to the 70 NBT in .243 caliber. I listened
For the 10th time. If they work for you great. They didn’t work for me, but I can see posting my results with them hasn’t set well with the high post crowd. Keep in mind I tracked the dog In the video I posted. I didn’t find any big chunks or really any pieces of the coyote, Just some deformed smashed out copper and spots of blood for 400+ yds.
I find it hilarious those trying to discredit the use of the heavier bullet with the same manufacturing process, to tout the lighter bullet as a more effective choice on front facing song dogs. It’s literally the only thing I changed in my case and the weekend I did runners suddenly stopped! Go from 5 over a weekend to 0 in over 2 years.
Like I said a good friend of mine swore by the 55 NBT also. Told me it was shot placement and all his coyotes over the last 2 years were dead. Wasn’t 3 weeks after my luck, he gets 3 runners using them. He’s been using 65 Vmaxs since and it hasn’t happened again.
I’ll leave it with this... You do you, I’ll do what works for me, your not. changing my mind to go back to any .243 call bullet under 60grains for coyotes
