3035 fps out of my 7 SAUM. . . 425 yd shot on a coues . . ~2300 fps impact velocity.
These bullets were very accurate for me. Watched my first shot land behind the shoulder, deer stayed on his feet. Aimed high shoulder on the follow up, deer dropped. The first shot exit hole wasn't anything the write home about. The second shot exit hole was devastating. It appeared to me that this bullet was happier when it hit something hard. It's hard to really know on my sample size of one, and coues aren't big dense animals. I imagine this bullet at my speed would do pretty well on elk but I can't confirm that. The two bulls Ive harvested with this rifle were with 168 gr Bergers.

I assume somewhere around 61gr of h4831? I have only run h4350 with them in my 20” and am pressuring out around 3100. No worries if you don’t want to share the load just curious. Are you in ADG also?I'm getting 3150fps with my 7 SAUM with the 143HH. 22" inch barrel, H4831
I shot a bull elk at 520yds last fall and dropped him in his tracks. The terminal performance was excellent!
Sounds about right. I think I pressured out at around 3250 and found a nice wide node at 3150I assume somewhere around 61gr of h4831? I have only run h4350 with them in my 20” and am pressuring out around 3100. No worries if you don’t want to share the load just curious. Are you in ADG also?
Hard to say as the bullet wasn’t recovered. I would argue the bullet hitting a shoulder has a greater likelihood of opening up than the first shot. As a whole these bullets have earned a pretty good reputation. I used them because they were super accurate and I could get them in 2021 when I was doing load development. The performance on this coues wouldn’t be a deterrent for me to use them going forward.Your second bullet with the spectacular exit likely failed to open and tumbled
