[QUOTE="ksubuck, post: 1193806, member: 64792"] I used Federal factory loads with 150 BTips in my 7 mag for years in the late 90s and early 2000. Harvested at least 15 whitetail deer with them. I took deer from 25 yards out to 450 yards. Many were emphatic DRT kills, while the rest were 25 to 50 yard runners. My thoughts: The 25 yard shot grenaded in the chest but the animal was dead, dead, dead. Most of the short distance runners were shot through the boiler room with complete pass through. Just needed a few steps to realize they were dead. Most of the DRTs were spine shot. I have since started reloading and have developed loads for the RM using 150 BTips. I see great short distance accuracy, but I don't see that accuracy carry out to 600. I think the 150 is great out to 300, good out to 500 but I wouldn't consider the 150 BTip much beyond 500 for reliable one shot kills. [/QUOTE]
