Thread: Just the tip......7 rem mag A-Tip load development

We tried the 153gr Atip in a 6.5 PRC. Possibly the most accurate bullet Iv worked with. From a sako S20 the worst group it shot was .62 out of a dozen on the initial run down, only got better from there. The down side was 4 shots in the field with ranges in the 400-500 yds, all hits verified by spotter no deer recovered. I sectioned a couple and they had no cavity at all. The alloy tip was in contact with the lead core maybe creating a fmj effect. 6.5 bullets were thin on the ground at that time so I switched to Hunter bullets 123gr AH . Results have been more than satisfactory.
153gr with a 135gr on the right.
