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

The down side was 4 shots in the field with ranges in the 400-500 yds, all hits verified by spotter no deer recovered. I sectioned a couple and they had no cavity at all. The alloy tip was in contact with the lead core maybe creating a fmj effect. 6.5 bullets were thin on the ground at that time so I switched to Hunter bullets 123gr AH . Results have been more than satisfactory.
153gr with a 135gr on the right.

Interesting, certainly heard a lot of differing opinions on their effectiveness on game (more that they perform well, than not), will update when I've had a chance to try them. Hopefully my results are positive maybe the 7mm will perform better. If not I have 180gn ELDM's and 162gn ELDM's available but may actually try 168gn VLDH next.
