Very pleased with Cutting Edge Bullets CNC machined copper bullet, 100 grains, in .257 Robert cartridge (my handload). Have not chronographed velocity yet, but is very near 2,900 -3,000 fps muzzle based on a previous lighter load.

Heart photo shows damage from 100 gr. .257 Cutting Edge Bullet at 3000 fps range 135 yd. Bullet hit rib on both sides. Exit wound low on chest was about 1 in. diameter. Deer took two steps and dropped. Deer remained standing on bullet hit, surprisingly.

hi Rex
i have seen the cutting edge bullets mentioned a bit lately.
they have high BC's but im little concern about hunters pushing them to far.
have a watch of this and you'll start to see what i mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNYq-QeHEuw.

sounds like you are having good results in close thou, hopefully you can get pictures posted.

Nice buck, Rex. That's some serious damage done, and a good result.

Shawn,
The link in the first post should open pictures for you. I am struggling with understanding how to upload photos to this blog, but will sooner or later prevail.

Re: 257 Roberts CNC Copper Bullet
I've been shooting muzzleloaders (ML) for deer and elk the last 30+ years. 2016 lucked into a rifle hunt, like the old days.... Many years of training for ML and I still concentrate on getting close. 2 weeks after this hunt, bagged a cow elk with inline muzzleloader in same location. Snow in AM, all morning stalk, 10 bedded elk at 100 yds. range. Shot one cow that stood for a few moments. 2 great hunts.
