[QUOTE="Bull_Mtn, post: 1876711, member: 105447"] I shoot a .300 WSM. Over the years, I have used Barnes, Nosler and Hornady bullets. Mostly 180 Gr. When Federal introduced their Edge TLR .200 gr bullet, I wanted to try it, however it was over a year before I was able to obtain bullets. Fortunately I was able to purchase a couple of boxes of factory loads. I only had time to zero at 100 yds before the season started. I was pleasantly surprised at the results, <.75 MOA groups. I used factory velocity, 2810 fps and entered all the needed date into my Strelok program. I shot an elk at 570 yds, DRT, pencil size entry, destroyed both lungs, .50 cent exit hole,. First elk taken with a factory load in 45 years. I am totally sold on this bullet, particularly if the shot is less than perfect. This bullet will most likely exit, leaving a blood trail. With reloads, <.5 MOA, 2830 FPS. Last year 500 yd, frontal shot, elk went 10 yds. [/QUOTE]
