I’ve used these bullets in my 7mm .284 setup for several matches. The consistency between shots is excellent, and the trajectory is very predictable. Great for long-range precision work. Only needed to adjust powder charge slightly for optimal performance.

As a competitive 3-Gun shooter, I rely on shot-to-shot consistency. These bullets deliver exactly what I need—reliable performance and minimal variation. The flat trajectory helps with wind drift control at distance.

The bullets are well-made and fit perfectly in my dies. I noticed a slight difference in pressure compared to other brands, but that’s expected with high-performance match bullets. Overall, very satisfied with the accuracy and uniformity.
