Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 375 & 416 Cutting Edge Bullets

Does anyone have experience with Cutting Edge Match/Tactical/Hunting (MTH) bullets in these calibers?

Cutting Edge says they will perform well on game. I did some googling and I can only find some reviews for smaller calibers on deer sized game. Results were fragmenting but effective like bergers.

I understand these were mostly designed for Chey-Tac and Barrett cartridges, but the product descriptions include applications for single feeding into the H&H/Ruger/Rigby/Rem Mag/RUM cartridges too. And since these are on the fragmenting side, perhaps slower starts from the factory cartridges could still mean great terminal performance.

Their advertised BC's are fantastic (0.75 for the 300gr .375 and 0.78 for the 340gr .416). This is exciting to say the least.

They are expensive and may require some long throating, but could these bullets open the door to serious long range hunting for the factory 375 and 416 rifles?

The lazer and D series are a bore ride design the basically will not touch the rifling tell the seal tight band. You will most likely be single shot loading but the throat will not be an issue. This is how I have understood the design to work.

The high BC ones are a single shot proposition only due to length

I'm aware they're single feed and that is okay. Just looking for more experiences and opinions on their terminal performance. I would have traditional hunting bullets in the magazine ready for close to moderate range, and have a few of these in a pocket if I needed to reach long. If they can perform well, I figure I could have the long range effect that typically only big 338 mags have but also the advantages of a 375 or 416.

I can mag feed the cutting edge 350's into my .375 Cheytac rifle. As for good terminals will have to see but the 350 CE bullets should open up pretty well. Will also be testing some Lehigh Defense 330 gr .375's which appear to be pretty serious bullets and are worth a look too.

Haven't shot any game with them at long range but did shoot a bull moose up close last year, obviously one experience does not in any way prove or disprove any theories or claims for or against the bullets, one thing for sure is that at less than 20 yards the 320 gr 375 Cal Cutting Edge MTH bullet is a force to be reckoned with at 2800 fps !
