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..
I have some of those. The 140’s shoot great in my 280 with 54 grains of Hunter. They are quite long though and eat up a lot of powder space so I haven’t tried them in the 7-08. Wish I had bought more when they were available. Going to take that 280 load out this year.
Man, I really like those 140's. I was out shooting today and the those 140 are excellent performers at 400 yards. I was surprised that they drifted less in the wind than the 162 ELDX did. Same exact winds, but the 140's were more on point, even though the 162 trumps them in the bc department. I know a lot of guys tout high bc, but when the proof is on the target, that is what gets my attention... Now I wish I had more of those Trophy Bonded Tips!!!!!! I have 800 162 ELDX and I'll put those to some good use. Saw the LGS has a bunch of RL23 today. I've been wanting to try that powder in the 7mm RM with these pills.
