No love for CEB?

Should also say the wound channel is the most consistent I've had with any bullet. From over 4k down to 1800fps they operate very similar. Very consistent wound channel.

I use the MTH in a 6.5 cr and a 28 Nos. Live in CA so required to use copper bullets. Killed a lot of animals with them and extremely happy with them. Best kept secret out there. I think their lack of popularity is due to lack of marketing. I also think Hammer got their idea from Cutting Edge andd pretty much copied them with the exception of better marketing

They are nothing alike, completely different design and alloy!! Cutting edge marketed the crap out of their product for longer, performance counts in the long run and Hammers best them in the hunting market hands down CE dominates the ELR.

I shot a good number of animals with CEB MTH bullets and the accuracy was excellent but terminal performance was sub par consistently in both elk and deer. Talked with them at SHOT about it and see if they had a suggestion why they were sucking and it was abundantly clear by the instant line of BS excuses they had that they knew the issue and had zero intention or clue how to fix it, terminal performance is not their game!!

They open better than Barnes everytime. Do much more internal damage. Plus when the speed slows down they still shed the front of the bullet. Barnes material is not very good and not consistent. They are tough and hold together but better monos are out.

I think the LRX has addressed this, however, I don't use them in anything launching below 3000fps, so no experience with say LRX 6.5mm 127g out of my 6.5x47 Lapua or 260AI. I have them, but my 264WM & 6.5-300 Weatherby both launch them above 3200fps.
I may have to give them a thorough test in those two.

Cheers.
