[QUOTE="2ndson, post: 2252025, member: 114275"] I’ve used them the past two years In My 7mm STW. 143 Hammer Hunter at 3390 fps. I pushed them to 3680 but settled for less speed and one hole accuracy. Load development is easy just load up one charge at a time until you find pressure then load a little below that. I shot a ladder and picked a velocity flat spot with similar impact points with STW. 30-06 I found pressure backed up a half grain and shot a group. Felt they should shoot better so switched primers and excellent group. Killed 3 elk and 2 whitetail bucks with them the past two years with my STW. No complaints at all. Excellent performance up close as most shots have been well inside 100 yards. Buck this year was 260 yards and he ran maybe 30 after the shot. I’ve shot them at 540 yards and was under 2.5” Group. Very little fouling. When you shoot a target there is no black ring around the bullet like you see on other bullets. When I clean there is very very little copper. [/QUOTE]
