Thank you. I'm not going to burn up any more bbl on my 7mm Practical developing loads right now, but the 6 creed is itching for rounds down range. I'm

To answer those that tagged me: I'll gladly cut them and post the results, if they're sent my way. I still have a TON of backlogged bullets to do still. Hopefully here soon I'll have time to get to them.

Website currently has the largest caliber offering at .308
If bullet sales take off, perhaps he'll increase production to include .338 and .375

Sounds like later this year or early next year for the .338 and .375. They're working on them now so it won't be long!

Just want to follow along to see where this goes!

I have a few to test out in my 300 NMI whenever it shows up . These are seated at the lands in another rifle I have with an identical chamber

How do you figure out the stability on these? If you assume the whole thing is solid copper, both the 160 and 168 7mm bullets aren't remotely stable in a 1:8.

How deep is the hollow point?

I've shot the 30 cal 195's in my 300 NMI and they were very accurate at 3175 FPS, but I only shot them to 600 yards. I bought a bunch more though.

I also would love for them to give us some sort of explanation about how the tip & cavity is made…obviously it looks to work but for some reason we all need to know how it comes to be in order to trust that it isn't witchcraft .

Anyway. Probably going to try this on elk this year.

This bullet has my attention.
Haven't tried them yet, but I did talk to the owner back in the spring at length.
He was informative and thorough, FYI.
Please post results as you get them!

I may check them out as Hammer bullets are getting way too expensive to shoot anymore.
Checking on other's as well.

 

[Northkill]

I doubt they are cheaper than Hammer.

The 125's didn't work in the Sherman Max but seemed to take to a PRC. Not bad for 650 yds. Retumbo pushing it on the slow side at 3,020 fps but it's a Christensen Ti which tend to be tighter and pressure out faster. It'll be on trial for this coming season.

(Calculated G1 .568 = approx. .279 G7)

What is your twist Sir?

These we're going to be in my gel test with bulldozers and hammers. Long story short trip was epic fail gel blocks didnt make it to the range. Fyi buy gel blocks well worth time and money lol making them sucks cheaper but time consuming and probably not as good
