ELR is not new to me, but the Barrett 416 MRAD ELR is new. One of my friends reloads (475gr single feed) for me because he has lots of experience. We shot together a few weeks ago, and I have high hopes going into this weekend’s competition with deep south ELR at Arena in Blakely, Georgia.
First off great packaging brass, velocity and s.d.'s for "factory' ammo. However my rifle on testing day did not care for them. They shot 6" high and 3 right with a 3moa group. I plan on giving the barrel a good scrub and trying again

Cutting Edge Bullets has earned my trust as an ELR competitor. Their .416 Hellfire 550gr Single Feed Lazer-Tipped Hollow Point bullets are exactly the kind of components serious long-range shooters look for when performance, consistency, and quality matter. When competing at extreme distances, every detail counts, and having confidence in your bullets is a big part of the equation.
I appreciate the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to pushing the limits of bullet technology. Whether you’re chasing tighter groups, consistent performance, or that satisfying steel impact way out there, Cutting Edge Bullets deserves serious consideration.
I’m proud to run Cutting Edge Bullets in my ELR journey. Because at these distances, SPLATTER MATTERS! Looking forward to many more rounds downrange!

After having good results with the HG Raptors in the .357 I had to see how these lightweight .44 150gr. Raptors would perform on game. I found that 26.5 grs. of AA#9 produces around 1,850 fps. in my Smith 29 and the group in the photo was shot at 80 yrds. The deer in the next photo was my first harvest with this bullet and it performed very well. The same load in my 10" Competitor single shot .44 Magnum pistol averaged around 2,100 fps as well. I will definitely be using these bullets on future hunting endeavors. As a side note I thought I should mention that the recoil of these loads is much less than your standard 240 gr. 44 Magnum ammunition.
I bought the clearance 6.5 CM with the 125 gr Maximus bullet. I haven’t shot a ton of them but I got around an MOA group at 100 yards which is pretty solid for box ammo. Huge perk that these are loaded in Peterson cases for when it’s time to reload them. I haven’t tried them hunting yet but am excited to see how they perform ballistically.
I bought these for use in a 7mm Backcountry. I haven't been able to complete my load development yet but I am very impressed so far.
The shell holder does a very good job of holding the rim fire brass without compressing the rim. I bout it to give me an alternative to taking apart .22 LR duds.
I'd had good success using this bullet in a Marlin 1895 Cowboy and was hopeful about getting them to regulate in a SIACE Alaskan .45-70 double.
As it happened, all it took was to gently increase velocities until it was printing both barrels onto a playing card at 100 yards. This is fast becoming my favorite "spot and stalk" hog combination!
To be fair, I use these for jewelry and dummy ammo for customers, but Cutting Edge bullets have always been my favorite for how perfect they are.

this is the 2nd part of my Safari in NW Provence of So Africa. This is a plains game hunt and on it I used my 9.3x62 Sauer 100 and the 200 grain Raptor and took 13 animals to include Blue Wildebeest, Impala, Warthog, Blesbok all except one was a one shot kill. The bullet did a fantastic job of downing the animals and only 2 bullets and 1 pedal was recovered along with one pedal, they internal damage was unreal and shots were taken out as far as 265 yards with great accuracy, this is a great bullet and gets the job done.
Best elr bullets out there! The Lazers have won me more matches thank any other bullet ive tried. Most consistently bullets on the market! Took me and my teammate to 2nd and 4th at King of 2 Miles 2026. Both of us hit the 2 mile target!
just back from N.W. Province of So Africa, was on a plains game and Cow Buffalo hunt. Well the one Cow Buffalo hunt turned into three, got a price that I could not pass up. Now for those that have never hunted Buffalo the Cows are more dangerous that the bulla due to being in herds. Two of the three were taken with one shot each plus paying the insurance and the third one with two shot and insurance shot. All animals were taken with the fantastic 420 gr Safari Raptors at 2410 fps, all were pass thru shots thru the front shoulders and one bullet was found was found just under the skin along with 5 broken off pedals. The damage was unreal and the skinners and PH said they had never seen so much damage done by a bullet ever. My PH Henry owner of Henry Griffiths said he wished he could buy a lifetime supply of these Raptors for his .375 HH. This makes number 5 Buffalo I have taken with CEB Safari Raptors and this is the only bullet I will ever use except the 400gr Safari Solid for Hippo or Dagga boys.
Very pleased with the quality of the bullets. Tried a couple of different loads and they both shot exceptionally well from the bench setting. Mostly used for hunting and have yet to hunt with them.
I’m still working through some of the fine tuning of my 8.6 but so far the bullets have been impressive. I’ve developed a subsonic load that is grouping at less than 3/4 inch. This has been better than other similar bullets that don’t stabilize as well. I’m looking forward to the terminal performance of these!
Going to give these a try in the 308 Win with H4895. Couldn’t beat the deal CEB was running at the time.
Straight forward load development with low SD.
300 PRC
Lapua Brass
These are very good consistent bullets.
Regulated perfectly and gave my best groups yet in a 450/400 Nitro Express. This will be my hippo bullet next safari.
Loaded with 21 grains of No 9 and average 1415fps out of 7.5” BFR. 1.64 COAL. From bench about 1” groups at 50yds. Will hunt Whitetail this Fall with this round. Weight of each bullet very consistent (ie 280grains) from one to another. Packaging rather nice as well.
Quick delivery and excellent quality, all bullets weighed were within stated tolerance. I was able to achieve a SD of 6FPS
Bullets are for an upcoming Brown Bear hunt. Have prepared cases for a .416 B & M, worked up a load and now and now waiting on departure time.
Will post hunt results if I am successful in bagging a bear of the size I want.
Bullets have extremely clean lines and a defined boat tail.
Can’t wait for load development. Would highly recommend these to anyone!
Fast shipping great looking bullet. Will be hunting short range subsonic with them
Used in .375 SOCOM. Will be buying more. Great service and boxes. Each projectile has its own individual slot in the box so they don’t get chewed up in shipping or storage.
