sorry I tried to review but still learning how to, very computer dumb. I used this bullet 458 400gr .700 I call long nose to take the very first Cape Buffalo back in April. the first shot was with the 420 gr Raptor in the chest at about 40 yards and never found that bullet. then after following the dogs fighting the Buffalo we got to about 30 feet when it came out of the brush and charged me I put another round Safari Solid and the dogs turned it and then was able to get 2 more solids into it, the Buffalo died about 7 feet in front of me. to say the rush was unreal is an understatement I must say. there was only one recovered Safari Solid recovered and that one was the first shot on the charge and went into the chest and was found under the hide in the rump the penetration was fantastic and the picture you see on the site is that bullet. Dan has made the ultimate solid for the .458 and will be the bullets I take when I go on my Elephant hunt hopefully next year. good hunting
this is the 3rd CEB bullet I have tried and so far it is very easy to work a load up with. I loaded this bullet to 2643 FPS and took it out to 250 yards and got my settings correct and shot a 2 inch group very accurate bullet and just ordered more. I think I could have grouped better but the red dot on the black target caused eye sight issues since I am color blind and my Sauer 100 is very light weight.love this bullet!
Absolutely another amazing bullet from cutting edge, has led me to several top 5 and 1st place finishes this year in ELR!
Got these to try in my factory barrel. They worked great as advertised, stabilized and no problems getting BC correct to reach 2200 yards repeatable
I have a custom built SRH in 475 Linebaugh and a Big Horn Armory model 89 in the same caliber. This bullet works flawlessly in both firearms. Very good velocity. No copper fowling at all. Operates smoothly in the lever gun. I love the ease of reloading. The bullet shape seems to penetrate very nicely. No deformation at all. Highly recommended. Bang!!!
I really like the way these bullets group and are very consistent in flight. All of the spotters that watch them in flight remark how much they look like a missile and how easy they are to track.
Hope to start development when weather cools off a bit. Bullets look great and plan to hunt Cape Buffalo with them.
Delivery was great! Went to the range and compared them with CCI 40g copper plated bullets, Augrila target 40g and Wolf target ammo. Started at 50 yards, used 3 rifles. CCI had the smallest group, followed by Wolf(surprised). Next week will move to 100 hopefully seeing better results.
Will always highly recommend these bullets. A great company to work with. Fast shipping.
I loaded up 20 rounds of the 410gn .500 Raptor Big Game bullets! Open sights at 100yds off 1.25” from zero. Probably my marksmanship that pull the shot high left. I am totally impressed with the bullet performance!
I recently ordered my second batch of these bullets. I handgun hunt and will to use these deer hunting in a scoped .357 Blackhawk. I went with the 140 grain to gain some down range energy. At 25 yards these bullet will put 5 shots though the same hole. 100 yard groups run right around 2.5". From my experience with the Raptors in other cartridges on game I expect no less from these. Report coming after deer season.
These bullets have produced excellent accuracy behind 1680. All measurements including coal and bto have been consistent. The load is functional and repeatable. Excellent bullets.
I have shot many types of bullets. Your Bullets help me Edge out the competition! Many factors come in to play when shooting long range. Consistent loads are a key factor in competition. With Cutting Edge I have 1 less thing to worry about. I don’t even weigh your bullets! It would be a waste of time. Thank You guys for a great product. USMC Retired MSGT
This feeds perfectly from the mag, and I have no issues stabilizing this bullet.
I shoot as far and as accurately with precision as I possibly can with the best components I can buy. This is a winning bullet if you want to shoot far into the transonic and beyond.

First order was great. I have already ordered more of the 50-count boxes
of the .458-caliber 400-grain Safari Solid (.700" NP).
Thanks.
I used one of those on a water buffalo insurance shot in May 2025.
It traveled over 8 feet in the water buffalo,
through front and back hide of tail, through hide of left rump,
through left pelvic bones, across entire abdominal cavity full of rumens and grass cud,
through diaphragm and lungs above heart, transecting the great vessels above the heart,
exited chest into shoulder muscles and smashed a big hole through the middle of the right humerus,
the heaviest/thickest/strongest bone in the water buffalo,
coming to rest in muscle/meat at right shoulder/neck juncture.
If it had not hit that humerus it surely would have gone out the far side with about 9 feet of waterbuffalo
perforated on the diagonal of entire body.
That it was able to thoroughly bust a humerus after about 8 feet of travel in body was amazing.
I have attached my photo of recovered bullet (see below).
.458 WIN MAG and 2500 fps MV, striking water buffalo at 25 yards.
It will be rare to recover these bullets on most shots,
except for maybe on Blue Whale.
I hope you can add my photo to the one James sent to you.
A gallery of recovered bullets of this make will not be a large one.
45 240GR HANDGUN RAPTOR are being used in my S&W 1854 in both suppressed and supersonic loads and they function flawlessly. I am impressed with the accuracy and the efficiency of the Raptor to feed in a lever action saddle gun !!!
Thank you will definitely purchase more.
Excellent service, purchasing the 458 .7 nose projection Safari Solid. Great bullets that penetrate deeper than any other solid, with straight line penetration.
I felt the way I was responded to by the Customer Service was unacceptable. I purchased McGuire bullets at more than twice the price, and will only use my CE bullets when I run out of others.
Hey Alan! We apologize that we did not respond in the desired way. I see here our last correspondance with you was about our previous sale ending. I will reach out to you via email to ask what we could have done better. Thank you for your honest feedback!
