Ive got a pile of them left from the 7waters i sold and just read an article in handloader where barness (spelling) claimed hes used them in the 280ai on deer elk and even moose with good results. he claims that nos made them a bit stouter then normal bts because of silouette shooters demands. Im not a big fan of his writtings but it sure would make the 280 and even the 757 reach out a bit farther. Ive been shooting 120 bts in the 264mag this year and cant say enough good about the way theyve worked so far. I posted this in the hunting section vs the reloading because im not looking for load data but some real world experiences with them on deer. Please to post that a guy needs a 160 grain bullet in the 7s to make them kill and to penetrate. Sorry guys but ive killed a truck load in 280s and 7mags with 140s and have yet to loose a deer hit by one.
