All other animals seem to go straight through,

Looking forward to try these out on some animals. With the range closed here atm is hard to get any data worked up.

These worked well in my SAUM on red deer, again don't have the flash harry BC but they worked. I had a bad run with the 143ELDx on animals at ranges less than 100 m.
SAUM is now relagated to Gongs only so BC is king and Bullet performance on the target not so important

Just loaded some 150s up in my 308 based on what @7mmsaum told me. Will chronograph when I can but only did 3 loads and 2 of them were sub inch. Looking foward to testing on a deer

I have started using the 155 Gn nosler custom in .308 for target shooting. supposed to be good for the "short" ranges out to 800 yds but then lose perfomance to the likes of berger at 1000yds.
Time will tell, our range only goes to 600 so it wil be a great practice round.

In my .260 I tried 125 partitions and also their BT, I just couldnt get them to group. No matter what I tried I couldnt get under 1.75 MOA
Went to the 120 Amax and drove it to high speed ....it kills well

Used the 150 partiton in my .270's and it was always a great killer and good accuracy. Been through 3 .270's they all liked them!

I wouldn't use 7mm 150grn BT on anything big from my experience. Gone old school to 160grn sierra game kings. Heaps cheaper, accurate and consistent kills on big and small deer etc.

I thought that from the beginning.. But since using them I've had no complaints.

IMO , roaring stags 308 150 accubonds, story ends badly for Mr. Stag .

what I find sad/hilarious/contrary about this thinking.....is often same people saying it will use an ELD-X ELD-M AMax in same role

any and all of them will work just fine n dandy when you take time to understand the strengths n weaknesses of projectile design....which pretty much sums up game shooting full stop.

now THIS bit I can really relate to and applaud vigorously

Not my best effort but a yearling from the other day. The good old Texas heart shot. Entered above the tail. Cleaved the spine snapping it eventually. Once entering the gut area made jelly of everything through the chest cavity. Didn’t even damage the back straps. 140 gn BT

If they don't work out on your CM @Reindeer PM me and I'll take them off your hands
