[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 606677, member: 505"] They are very accurate and not very critical to load for. They shoot good within a wide range of seating depths. I started shooting them last year and between me and my friends using my rifles have taken 15-18 animals. We have not found a bullet yet because they all exit with a nice exit wound creating nice double blood trails. All animals were dead within a reasonable distance. A double lung hit will not bring the animal down right there but will leave a good blood trail to follow a short distance to where it lays. A high shoulder shot or spinal shot anchors the animal as with any other bullet. A friend shot an elk through both shoulders at 520 yards while I spotted and anchored the elk in it's tracks. The bullet exited with a good size exit hole after breaking both shoulders. So the bullet is tough and will hold together. I have not tried the CE 7mm bullets and do not know what they offer. You also may want to try the 168 grain Barnes TTSX. It is very accurate and has a high BC. I have not shot an animal with them since they just came out but the ttsx performs very well on game. Last week I was shooting them 3200 fps out of my 7mm STW very accurately. [/QUOTE]
