Has anyone tried the Hornady #2825 BT's in 7mm RM. I'm focussed primarily on the hunting aspects of this bullet. A sectional cut away reveals they have a thicker jacket from the base to the olgive, and the jacket is tapered the rest of the way up. I also measured the diameter and they are .0005" larger in diameter than Speer, Sierra, or Nosler. I also noticed that the jacket seems to be made of a harder copper than Speer Hot Core, Sierra's and Nosler, which might just be the ticket for high velocity loads.
The past few years I exploded bullet after bullet trying to find one that would hold together on deer and elk. I have printed them at 200 yds. and have no complaints regarding accuracy, I just really need to know if anyone has taken any game with them in the 7mm RM, and how they performed on shoulder shots.
