They are my favorite bullet in 180 grain for my 30-06. Never recovered one but haven’t found any fragments either and I take high shoulder shots for less tracking jobs.
Maybe 178?
I think he is talking about the 180gr SST.. We kind of went off on a tangent talking about the SST's.
Copy.
I suck at pronouns.

Hey pharm, have you ever used any of these?:
They had a good sale on them at Coastal about 2 years ago. Less than $30/box.. Probably discontinued or something now? They are 140gr Tipped trophy bonded bullets. I figured they would work very well in the 7mm08..
We have used them a bit. You probably should just send those to me. You’d hate how they work
Ha ha.. I knew I should have bought more!!! I know the old trophy bonded bearclaws were animals.
I’ve killed with 120 NBT, 140 PT, 140 AB, 140 VLD Hunting, and 150 eldx. Loaded some 120 TTSX but never hunted with them. 7mm-08.
7mm Rem Mag I’ve killed with 160 PT, 160 AB, and 162 eldx. Loaded some 180 VLD Hunting for my brother, he killed a bull with them.
Those bullets look wicked.
Thanks pharm. I just figured since you probably have a coastal near where you live, maybe you bought some of these as well. Yes, they do look pretty wicked. Nickle plated, I believe, with a nice orange polymer tip. I loaded some up to try out in my 7mm rem mag. We'll see how they do...
