Anyone shooting these out of a 7mag? What’s your opinion on them

 

[bodeen]

Still working on that one. I like the 131 or 143.

 

[gltaylor]

131 HH very fine!

Nothing yet. Maybe a deer in Nov. Dec. Too many tools to choose from.

I have killed several Aoudad ewes with this bullet in a 7mm mag as well as a 280 AI. Killed them graveyard dead no fuss. 7 mag is running 3370 fps with RL 23, low recoil and bughole groups.

Regards

131 Hammer Hunter
68.5 grains RL23

This was in a Browning X-bolt. No pressure signs but I'm sure it ain't far from it. Sneak up on this if you try it.

I tried that in my browning xbolt also. Shot pretty good

@Crp

A client of mine used the 284/155HH this past year in a 7SAUM. MV was around 3000fps. He shot a handful of MO whitetail, a rocky mt bighorn and a NM oryx with it. Shot distances were 350 yards to 40 yards. It performed well, a few CNS shots that went straight down. The lung shots ran a few yards but not far.

The 155HH is a long pill for it's caliber. It's my opinion that this pill needs to have a slightly shallower hollow point to be optimally balanced.

Switching to the 145HHT

I'm shooting them out of a 7 mag using RL-26, velocity is 3230fps. Killed a 325 pound bore in CA, hit him on the tip of the shoulder and exited behind the other at about 100 yards. Went about 50 feet before dying, people were impressed it passed clean through both his plates.

 

[bodeen]

That’s about where I hit over pressure with N170. Still not finished with them yet.
