I grabbed some recently for a 7prc, shot them very little so far but was surprised how deep I had to seat them to kiss the lands

I did a quick pressure test this evening and was pretty impressed with the speeds. Looks like I got a wide node at 3635fps. I haven't had any other bullets be so much faster than expected in this barrel
How do you continue to test, please keep us all informed.

Since you're comparing monolithic bullets, have you ever tried Hammer Bullets? I was just curious how they compared to the others in your experience.

Accurate but BCs have been wildly overstated from what I've seen

I have not tried Hammer. I started using Cutting Edge before Hammer existed or at least before I knew about them. I think Hammer pretty much copied Cutting Edge. Cutting Edge was/is popular with competition shooters and they were recommended by a high profile rifle builder to me so that's how I got started and so far I have no regrets. Nothing against Hammer and they are pretty active on this site but I just have no need to change something up that works so well.

I have no experience with the Maximus line but I have shot many MTH and now shoot the 145 Lazers in my 7 Rum. I get better than normal velocity and higher bc's than advertised. Accuracy is decent to good and I like the terminal performance better than most other coppers, however limited on kills. I need more test subjects. That 77grn Maximus is smokin.... I bet it hits pretty hard! Happy shooting, Jason

250gr Maximus from my muzzleloader has accounted for both my biggest deer so far... All from a super loooong range of about 60 yards 
I did load them in a 243 and a 270, but never put them on game. Accuracy was on par with anything else I fed them.
