[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2466308, member: 64108"] I run the 100 grain MTH in a 7 twist .243 at ~3,200 fps and have had great success on 6 deer and 2 antelope, furthest shot was 670 yards and all had trauma from the pedals on the off side, usually could see two other shrapnel wounds as the tip breaks into 3 pieces and the shank exits very similar to a Hammer. The first deer I shot was a bit over 300 yards and it seemed to pencil thru with a caliber size exit but it died as it was a hearth/lung shot. I did not check the tip to see if it was clogged as I used to shoot tipped TTXS and was not in the habit of checking them but I do now on all hunting bullets. I have taken 2 deer with the 130 grain MTH from my 6.5x47 Lapua 7 twist at 640 and a bit over 700 yards and both dropped on the spot with a quarter size exit hole. The elk was a 275 grain Lazer which is a tipped bullet with a bigger hollow point that expands down to 1,300 fps where the MTH expands down to 1,600 fps. Both have proven very accurate in all the rifles I have tried them in. Cutting Edge uses a softer copper alloy similar to Hammer that I feel is better than the hard copper for a long range mono.
