Looking at some of these for my 7 mag and possibly a 6.5x55 ai when it's built. Anyone have experience with them on game? What bullet? What twist? How did it perform on paper and in an animal?
 
I’ve been shooting three different MTH calibers over the past year- 77gr in .243 win, 120 gr in 6.5
SAUM, and 130 gr in 270 WSM. They are accurate bullets and I’ve noticed they tend to give signicantly higher velocities than Barnes bullets. We’ve taken four mulies and an elk with no issues, shots were all heart/lung and the only bullet I recovered was from a 600 yard shot on an elk cow. The front half of the bullet was missing, presumably the petals broke off and passed through and the base of the bullet was under the hide.
