Excellent velocity and accuracy
280 Ackley with extended freebore. 3400 plus fps over a stout load of Hybrid 100V. One ragged hole group at 100 yards. I’ll be stretching this one out to see how it holds up at a grand.

Excellent Velocity! Very Accurate! 7rem mag, H4350 powder 3405fps 3 Blacktail shot this fall. 166yds, 311yds and 818yds. All had very devasting terminal performance. The 166 and 311yd shots had huge entrance holes from hitting rib bones, expansion took out 3 ribs on entrance. 818yd shot bullet was still traveling aprox 2100fps. Perfect broadside double lung shot. Again, Great expansion and took out two ribs on entrance. Both lungs where very torn up, excellent energy dump, base of bullet passed through, found several petals on outside skin side. Buck ran 20 steps and piled up. This is the bullet for long range! Especially in Ca!

Great velocity and accuracy!!
7 STW with Reloder 23 powder. It’s a relatively mild load at 3415 fps but accuracy is outstanding. I set the bullet .020 off the lands and never had to change.

I recently purchased a box of 50 after talking Steve’s ear off for 20 minutes about different loads for my 7 PRC and others. After fumbling around with seating depth (make sure to get two of the bands in the case neck) I was able to shoot consistent 1/2″, three shot groups. I was using a factory Seekins Havak PH3 with a 26″ barrel doing 3490 fps average at approximately 4500′ elevation and 70 degrees. I was loaded them with 74.0 gn of RL26 and i did put a little tiny crimp with a Lee Factory Crimp die. Zero pressure. Also, recoil was very manageable and I could almost see hits when using a suppressor. I’ll add a review on performance once something other than paper gets punched.
