Well the great news is the rifle loves em,1/2 inch group, :clapper: and same zero as my other load. :toast: So they put the other boxes to one side, while i can go get them.

The hope I have is they will be great on the bigger deer good on boar and because they are a "big game" bullet may be a little on the hard side and not expand to quickly on roe so hopefully a good all round bullet for the rem mag.

Will keep you all informed though if they were £52 a box I would continue to hand load for it. :thumbs:

The continentals always had RWS when i used to stalk with forgin clients & 90% was the 7x64 & a good round. RWS are expensive but so is any ammo now i see Federal 243 at £27 for 20. The remmy mag you have not sure on cal but seen the 7mmrum & 300 rum with hard bullets do both no damage & basically gralloch the deer for you as they seem to have quite a vacum to them on the exit & seen them pull the pluk/gralloch out the hole in the ribs. My mates 308 with 150g homeloads was bad for this too in the load we used near every beast had the stomach half out the exit like a greyish balloon.

its a 7mm rem mag and have found it fine on roe with handloads, 140+160 nosler partitions and 160 speer grand slams.

thanks for your coments john.

I assume you are using rws dk's if so they are deadly on fallow deer and red deer sized game. Im hooked on their ammo and now load for hunting. I use DK's in my 7mm long range accubonds tugs(uni)in my 30 06 long range accubonds and hmantels and tugs in my 9.3 have also tried tugs an a 300wm but, my blaser and past sako75 did not like them. I have take pigs goats fallow red chital rusa sambar camel donkey bantang and buffalo with these. Enjoy those freaky bullet worth every cent for me.

I must say I am very impressed with this ammo.

Tried it tonight on the shoot and with a strong back wind which was buffeting me I shot an inch group in the bull at 200 yards,

Not bad as she's shooting just 2cm's high at 100.

Thats quite flat for a 162gr.

Cant wait to get at the fallow.
