I hunted deer and elk in the 80’s and 90’s with Speer Nitrex ammo loaded with 165 gr Grand Slams with good performance on game and good accuracy in my .308 Win. Incidentally, I loaded a bunch of 160 gr Mag Tips for my son’s 7mm Rem Mag for practice loads to duplicate the TBBC Federal loads. He got the ammo mixed up and killed the biggest bull that any of us have taken with those Mag Tip reloads. Sadly, Speer quit making those too. I have some Grand Slams that I’m going to try in my 7x57 soon.
