[QUOTE="Ought6, post: 1529369, member: 96894"] My Tikka 7mm Rem Mag is not a Super Lite but a blued T3 Lite . I had used the Hornady Custom 154 grain Spire point loads in my Model 700 7 REM mag for probably 20 years and they shot under an inch and terminal performance on deer was amazing . When I got my Tikka I tried them hoping it would shoot them as well as the 700 did . It didn't like them at all . I tried the Hornady Precision Hunter loads and they were not very good either . Tried a couple other loads from Remington and Winchester with not great results . Finally tried the Fusion 150 grains and they were amazing - on paper anyhow . If I did my part , they would shoot a half inch 5 shot group . I hunted with them one fall and dropped them . Performance on deer was pitiful . I killed 3 or 4 with them and there was no expansion and no bloodtrails at all . Tiny exit holes . On a whim I bought a box of the American Whitetail 139 grain to try . They shot as good as the Fusion 150's so I have been using them two hunting seasons now . Performance on deer is amazing . I spent a lot of money on ammo to end up with about the cheapest load I tried . Long post I know but just thought they might be an option you hadn't thought of trying . Good luck [/QUOTE]
