    Firstly I haven't had alot of experience with the 180gr hybrid but was quoting you from another post saying you had shot alot of them and they only expanded okay up to 850 yards in your big 7mms? and we all know that the 7mm SMKs don't always expand well at long range ie 1000 yards. Now the cutting edge is in testing so I have no experience with it yet but quoting one long range shot dosen't mean anything I've seen plenty of deer run of hit well with the old thin jacket 180gr VLD then full dead at long range, a 400grs 375gr will have alot more energy than a 252gr to start of with before you add in the bullet expanding anyway, also being very long 2.2100 inches long tumble may also help? Now back to what we were talking about will a hunting jacket 195gr stay tuned in a 7mm SF when the throat starts to look like a gravel pit???
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind
