I was wondering what everyone thought about these bullets. How do they perform on deer and elk size game.

Great deer bullets.....I'd use bonded or particians on elk size game.

This is my second year using them and so far they have been very impressive. No elk hunting for me but they are great for deer.

I would also have to say they have done very well for me. I took a ram on a running shot with one a week ago and it took out his shoulder bone and lungs.

Is this a good bullet fo a 7mm Rem Mag? Does it have good long range performance?

For deer it is a great deer bullet(I am not sure it is any better than NBT's but equal in my experience) I have used it to take 3 whitetails bucks and a doe worked perfectly each time out of my 7 mag in the 154 gr version. For elk leave it at home in the 7mag, go with a solid bullet like mentioned.

IMO for deer the SST & NBT area great bullet, especially for longer range shots. However all 4 of my deer have fallen of shots from 120 to 275, so maybe not the long range you are talking about(all I did is hold on em' and pull).
