Here's a thought power, I am sure you tried this but maybe not!

SJ or others, for S&G's tried some Hornady 154Gr SST, with the same nylon tip as BT. They group identical as my 150 Gr Noslers but 2" higher at 100. (a little suprised??????) My gunsmith who reloads for me says they are much the same as Noslers, except they are bonded and thus don't come unglued as quickly as BT's. I have used BT's with good results, one poor...but I also like to plink and tink...so I thought what the heck.

Anyway to my questions. What are your thoughts on this bullet type? Should I stick with BT's? 7MM Mag is the gun and quarry is Whitetails. My groups like I said don't favor either, tightest they ever been. Why would you think the 154GR SST would be 2" higher and bang on vs. a 150GR BT (bang on but 2" lower)? So it's not a matter of picking the most accurate load anymore, like the BT's were always the ones that grouped best. I want the best performance at the game end now and call on your guys experience?

Many thanks.

Power, let us know how you and your wife make out!
