Thus far these have been very accurate in my old Mauser sporter chambered in 6.5-06. This fall will the test on meat.
I have been working on load development for a safari at the end of this summer. I shot a 1 hole 3 shot group with the 275 grain Safari Raptors and very good companion grouping with the 300 grain solids. Very confident in these bullets! The accuracy is amazing!!
I have shot several thousand of Cutting Edge bullets in my ELR career and not once been disappointed in their quality or performance.
I can step up to any firing line and have complete confidence in my choice of CE Lazers projectiles.
I love so many things about CEB Safari solids and Safari Raptors. I know exactly what to expect, and even with my high expectations, I’m never let down. Shooting these through my 500NE is the same as my 375FL, 450/400, and 450NE, predictably awesome. Accurate, markedly fast in comparison to same weight bullets and same charge, and devastating performance.
One thing I love about CEB Safari solids and Safari Raptors is I know exactly what to expect, and even with my high expectations, I’m not ever let down. Shooting these through my 500NE is no different. Accurate, markedly fast in comparison to same weight bullets and same charge, and devastating performance.
I have not shot any big game with this bullet yet but that will change this coming Sept when I go to Africa for a cull hunt along with one or two cow cape buffalo. I have found outstanding accuracy at 2655 fps with the tips installed. My rifle shoots 1 1/2 inch groups at 250 yards. The PH said he would not have any problem with me taking buffalo with this bullet as he knows from personal experience with CEB Safari Raptors. I am confident these will work great.
I recently bought a Model 70 Safari Express for an upcoming elephant hunt. I had no problem zeroing it with the 400 grain Safari solids at 50 yards with less than 1" grouping. It was shooting right at 2,400 fps.
I ended up shooting the elephant with a side brain shot at 60 yards. Elephant dropped on the spot. Complete pass through of the head, so no bullet retrieved.
I loaded up some 370 grain Safari Raptors with the same load. I haven't hunted with them, but at the range they are hitting 1.5" higher than the solids at 100 yards.
I am just launching into reloading and have been very impressed with the precision machining of these .475 cal HG solids. Have not loaded them yet. The hard plastic container for these is great protection and excellent for tangent uses also. Cutting Edge Bullets pays attention to all the details. Ten Thumbs Up all the way!!!
Absolutely the most accurate bullet i have tried out of my SRH .454. Have taken one bear so far with it last fall. 60yd bang flop. Thanks CEB!
This combination is the perfect match. The Hellfire is so powerful and consistent it is the easy button for loading and low single digit ES’s is what it takes to be successful at ELR distances.
As always bullets are perfect . Shipped quickly .
Used the .375/275 Raptor to take this brute in the Save Valley Conservancy of Zimbabwe. The bullet performed flawlessly, severely damaging both lungs as well as taking off the aorta before exiting. He only ran about 60 yards before piling up. The PH wasn't aware of CEB until now, but he has become a true believer!
I purchased a single shot rifle in the 360 caliber last year. I worked all last summer with Remington factory rounds and was not pleased with the results. Searching for better options I came up on CE bullets and liked what I saw. I have now developed a load for the 160 grain raptor and look forward to better performance in the field.
The 65gr MTH print cloverleafs with my Tikka 8” twist .223. I expect them to be an excellent deer round this coming season
When my lion came in, he came in quickly. We were losing the light quickly, so when he gave me an opportunity at his engine room, I took it.
The 275 grain .375 Raptor took the aorta and punched out the other side. He made a short 60 yard run before piling up. I couldn’t ask for better performance!
I love the consistent accuracy of manufacture, it makes the loading process much more uniform. Every barrel is it's own creature and loads must be developed to satisfy that nature. I find CE guidelines as a good starting point, then I make adjustments. I have excellent luck with these projectiles and my last 4 relays of 15 shots averaged an SD of 5.4. I will be happy any day with that consistency.
grandsons shooting very accurate. very consistent groups. i`ll be back for more. thanks
0.36 moa group out of my 375 Cheytac on the first try. Amazing rounds
Fit and finish on your brass and bullets are great, I just can't get them to shoot any better than about an inch and an eighth at fifty yards. I have tried three different powders and four different power charges each. Nothing shoots very well. Paul
This is the most accurate bullet I have found for the 360 Buckhammer.
I used Stabal Match powder. 58 grains. Seems to work well. I tried 57 to 59.5. All of them had very similar pressure.
My silly abbreviation for these bullets I load is “cutters”
Hope you like
