I used them in my 257wby at 3570 and killed a few deer. 50-200yds. They worked good. It wasnt too hard to get that bullet shoot well or fast but that rifle was easy that way. But in each kill they opened well and werent caught.
I've tried the 130 in 270wsm and gave up, same with the 120 in 6.5-300. Couldnt get an accurate and fast enough load in either. Tried well over 100 in each, using a couple powders, diff depths etc.
I've had better luck getting accurate n fast enough loads with GMX, TSX, TTX, LRX and DRT bullets.
The 150 GMXs impressed me on a couple light bodied deer at 2100 impact as well as 2750 impact.
110TTSX have impressed on a few deer killing fast but not ruining much meat with broadside shots when started at 3500.
One kill with 147 DRT was a quick kill with good penetration on a big blacktail at 130yds, started at 2870 in a Creed.
I have mono loads worked up for 308, 30-06, 270wsm, 22-250, 257wby, 250sav, 6.5 CM (2 of em), and 6.5-300wby.
