Most accurate load I've ever had. Shot a number of animals in the 500 yard zone. Great on reds with big body mass.

I'm a little surprised the velocity isn't a little higher. The 162 amax do 2980 in my 7saum.
I'm definitely considering going to a copper pill. Is the 143 better than the 140?

Haven't shot anything with the 140. They are supposed to get more fps due to only the bands engaging with the rifling. Could well be the case on a different barrel but mine topped out at 3190 with 2 grains more than the 143 so no point going any further.
I'm guessing that there terminal performance would be identical
