LOL! I dint have a religious revelation, but jumped into the deep end of the pool years ago with a 7mm Weatherby. 3,228 fps with 150 TTSX has never failed. A hunt buddy of mine shoots an A-Bolt 7mm Rem Mag and used Hornady factory ammo until it didn’t shoot well. He thought the ammo changed and went to Ballistic Tips and wasn’t happy with those. (I suspect throat erosion as MD has explained previously) He had a friend of his load some 150 TTSX after witnessing the performance of mine. Very accurate in his rifle and deadly on deer and elk. I asked him how fast they were going and he has no idea except they shoot great in his rifle. His friend told him they were not a max load, so I suspect 2,900 fps or so. Happy Trails
