Here are a couple of .338 234gr Outer Edge BBT's recovered, bulged against the hide of big bull camels weighing in the vicinity of 1200-1400lbs. Both were shoulder shots.

That's some serious mushrooming!

Those have a nice 90 degree shroom up top! Lots of shank to plow through!

Nice thing about this particular bullet is it's very high BC …. Above .7

What was the approximate velocity at impact? memtb

I tested some Apex Outdoors Afterburners last deer season and was pretty impressed with them. So I would add those to the list that's developing here. @asd9055 linked their website already.

And as @codyadams said, they do have a new line of more long range versions coming out soon. I don't want to say too much though before they are released.

The 277 284 and 308 are already out.

I'd guess one would be around 2400fps, the other 2500+fps

Cutting Edge Bullets have the trophies to prove they are the "Apex" with long range copper. To dispute that with stories is, well, expected. They expand at lower velocities than most which extends hunting ranges. At shorter ranges several will fulfill your needs.

As posted earlier, CA Fish and Wildlife has an approved list of manufacturers. I just sent them an updated list of all the bullets currently in our line of Hammer Bullets.

For your 6.5 PRC I would load the 125g Hammer HHT. These will push to 3400 fps plus comfortably and get you to your 800y mark. We just released the new line of Hammer HHT's in June after about a year of testing on animals all over the world. I have been very adamant about never having a tip in Hammer Bullets for years because we could never get a tip bullet to work as well as our open hollow point bullets for terminal performance. Our buddy @pickens72 came to visit us last summer and pushed us to try a tipped bullet again. We set out to prove to him that they wouldn't work as well. After nearly a year of testing on animals with thousands of kills, with some tweaks along the way, I have to eat some serious crow. We have the new Hammer HHT's working on game better than any of our previous bullets. This is a big statement given that I am very confident in saying that our previous lines of bullets have better terminal performance than any other bullets on the market. The Hammer HHT's are equivalent at plus 3000 fps impacts and superior below that. Unlike other tipped bullets they do not deflect on angled bone impacts. They will bite the bone and maintain straight line penetration with the shed petals also maintaining the straight line penetration. We have set a new bar for terminal performance. We just returned from Australia shooting a pile of pigs, donkeys, scrub bulls, and water buffalo with various cartridges and bullets. This 125g Hammer HHT we were running out of a custom .264 caliber cartridge that we designed, that is between the Creed and the PRC for performance. I shot a bunch about a half a dozen water buffalo cows with the 125g HHT and it was literally decking them. Even on quartering to shoulder shots. I have pretty high expectations and the 125g HHT surpassed my expectations over and over. From little 20 lb wallaby to 1000lb water buffalo it was devastating.

Last thing I will add. We will not introduce a hunting bullet to the market that is not superior in terminal performance. Period.

Zeeooowww!

Sorry, but I'm not going to continue this. Good luck to the OP.

Cheers!

Cool! Another manufacturer i Didn't know about. Looked into them…in many ways I'm reminded of the Lapua naturalis, another mono I haven't heard too many people talk about.

You got enough space on your bedroom ceiling for another bullet poster?
