I have used them in the past, but have now switched to 145 gr. Speer slugs. Just as accurate and I can get a bit more speed. Still keep in pretty mild, just over 2700 fps with the Speer I have been meaning to give the Speer 145s a try. What powder do you like with them?

I used the Speer 145s in my 7x57s a couple years. They work, but don't penetrate the tough stuff as well as either the 154 or 175 Hornadys. In the Speers, I prefer the 160gr. The Hot Cors do a little more damage than the Mag-Tips, but both work well.

The 145 Speer Grand Slam has been my favorite bullet for 7mm-08 / 7X57 so far.
