Cutting edge bullets, Maximus

Just picked up some for my 243. Wondering if anyone here has experience with this line of bullets and how they liked em.

I grabbed some recently for a 7prc, shot them very little so far but was surprised how deep I had to seat them to kiss the lands

I did a quick pressure test this evening and was pretty impressed with the speeds. Looks like I got a wide node at 3635fps. I haven't had any other bullets be so much faster than expected in this barrel

How do you continue to test, please keep us all informed.

I became frustrated with Barnes so tried Cutting Edge. I have had tremendous results with Cutting Edge and being from CA don't see a need for changing

Since you're comparing monolithic bullets, have you ever tried Hammer Bullets? I was just curious how they compared to the others in your experience.

Accurate but BCs have been wildly overstated from what I've seen

docmark · Sep 19, 2024

I have not tried Hammer. I started using Cutting Edge before Hammer existed or at least before I knew about them. I think Hammer pretty much copied Cutting Edge. Cutting Edge was/is popular with competition shooters and they were recommended by a high profile rifle builder to me so that's how I got started and so far I have no regrets. Nothing against Hammer and they are pretty active on this site but I just have no need to change something up that works so well.

I have no experience with the Maximus line but I have shot many MTH and now shoot the 145 Lazers in my 7 Rum. I get better than normal velocity and higher bc's than advertised. Accuracy is decent to good and I like the terminal performance better than most other coppers, however limited on kills. I need more test subjects. That 77grn Maximus is smokin.... I bet it hits pretty hard! Happy shooting, Jason

250gr Maximus from my muzzleloader has accounted for both my biggest deer so far... All from a super loooong range of about 60 yards

I did load them in a 243 and a 270, but never put them on game. Accuracy was on par with anything else I fed them.
