[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 967793, member: 48043"] Sierra 140 and 150 grain bullets hold up well in big 7mm's from the 50+ kills I've seen with them, and we are driving them from stw's and rum's. Often it is hitting one of the heavy bones with a bullet that hasn't slowed down yet that'll cause a bullet to break up. I've never worked with sierra that much in 30 cal. as hornady has always shot in my 30's so well, but my dad and brother have used them and I help a buddy load who uses 150 pro hunters in a '06 and we've had no failures. I think any cup and core pill can fail though if you stress it enough. Premium bullets come into play if you are going to hit something up close at high speed where the vel. hasn't fallen off yet.
