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

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.
 
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.
