I shoot them in a .223 and .270 WSM and I have been impressed with both calibers. I shot a buck with the .270 and a 115 lbs doe with the .223 and neither went over 40 yards before collapsing. Both were lung shot.

I have used 95gr/243 and 130gr/270 loads with excellent accuracy and results on deer.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I shoot 7mm-08 140 grain, very accurate. Killed a doe at about 30 yards last year. Very impressed with it. I may try some in my 280 this year.

I shoot them in my 7mm wsm and love them too. I just wanted to see if anyone else used them. I have had good success at long and short shots. Its a great bullet!

They group well in my rifles, they're inexpensive, their terminal performance on deer has been very good in my experience, and on the one bullet that I recovered from a deer, the weight retention and expansion were both excellent.

What's not to like?
