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

There wasnt a lot of information on terminal performance at the time and even now there only seems to be anecdotal reports based on small sample size. I was hoping they would be more like an Amax. I have a box of 135gr I was going to use in the 6.5x284 but Iv seen enough to leave them for range work. The other issue I see with them is the alloy tip extends out covering the edge of the jacket which I think coupled with the lack of cavity prevents reliable expansion.Im sure they will kill well sometimes but there are other far more reliable options that are available again. Bergers 140 EH Im finding very good along with the 143eldx and Hammer bullets offerings be they a bit spendy. .
