Loaded rounds for sight in at 100 yards 3000 fps custom 450 bushmaster three shoots first on target moved sight shot two for confirmation
I am back. The 10mm 120 grain Raptor exceeded my expectations. I shot a large doe (175 lbs.) with the 120 grain Raptor from my custom 10mm Glock. She was 59 yards away. The bullet core and petals all completely penetrated the doe. She made it about 15 yards and dropped. The vitals were all destroyed. With the growing interest in the 10mm as a hunting cartridge the 120 grain Raptor is a viable bullet for that task.
This bullet was a bang flop on WI whitetails this year and has been the most accurate projectile yet out of my CVA Optima muzzloader pistol.
This bullet performed flawlessly for me on whitetails this year out of my T/C contender in 6br.
These bullets are shooting very consistant and thight groups.
Arrived quick and perform as expecred. Group right in.
After my friend used my 6.8spc to harvest 2 deer, I went out myself and was able to take 2 more deer with these bullets. Both shots were about 75 yards. shot a buck that ran about 30 yards and shot a doe that dropped DRT. Both had fist size entry holes and about inches wide exits. The vitals on both deer were absolutely destroyed. Both deer also had multiple exits from the shank and petals. I did recover a shank from the doe under the hide in the hind quarter. It was a quartering shot and most of the bullet exited the ribs but the shank must have deflected off a rib and veered towards the rear of the animal. Also had another fragment travel all the through the deer and exit a hind quarter. Overall extremely impressed with these bullets.
Loaded them for a 28 nosler and 7 mag and was very impressed with how consistent and accurate they are. Can not wait to see how they perform on deer/elk.
Couldn’t be happier with these projectiles.The machining and accuracy is spot on. Definitely will be buying more to come.
Bought these because of the growing interest in getting away from lead bullets. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and accuracy of these sabots; they were equal to or better than the copper jacketed lead sabots I previously used. They did the job during this year's deer season.
First time buying from Cutting Edge Bullets and I couldn’t be happier. Once I got the proper seating depth figured out for my rifle the accuracy was as good if not better then I had hoped for.
This bullet is running at 2841 fps out of my Bergara and slightly faster out of my wife's CVA Cascade. We both shot 8 point bucks, both ran about 30 yards. They were dead but they just didn't know it.
Didn't want to pass up the discounted price.
Hope to try them in my 270-08, 270RUM.
Thanks
I built a 375 RUM as an experiment, and it turned into a great shooter with the CE 300 grain Maximus bullets. Loaded these rounds at a reasonable powder level that produced some great groups with reduced recoil from a chassis that weighs nearly 22 pounds.
Bought 100pc for the first time to try and the package was lost, it’s been a month and no refund from cutting edge. UPS already approved refund but cutting edge just playing the cat mouse game after a 100 calls to ups and cutting edge I just give up and lost $150
Hey Jose, we are so sorry to hear about your experience. We have contacted UPS and they told us it will take them 8-10 business days to officially release the refund to us. That was on the 21st, so hopefully we hear from them soon. We have been calling them every few days to check in. Trust us, it is very frustrating for us too! We will stay on top of this so we can get this refund for you!
Is the CEB 165 Maximus accurate? Very much so, sub minute. Is it flat shooting? Absolutely. Three inches thigh at 100 yards,dead on at 200 yards. I’m sighted in 1 inch high at 100 yards , a mid broadside hold at 200 is spot on.The CEB 165 grain bullets are leaving the barrel at close to 3000 fps. Are the CEB bullets up to the job.You betcha. Very effective. No deer went farther than fifty yards.A couple of bang flops. A couple of chin hitting the ground before running a bit and piling up. I Plan on shooting some 300 yard targets to see what it does at that distance when I am getting around a bit better. Does the CEB bullet poke good size holes for blood trailing. See the pictures.(the high shot is on me) CEB claims the bullet tip breaks off into four pieces with the base remaining intact. I have no reason to doubt them. They work. On smaller deer a lower brisket heart shot impact is very destructive with not much identifiable in the jellied goo and skinning a bit dicey around the shoulders for fear of pulling the front half off from the back half.
We are so happy to hear about your positive experience! Thanks so much for sharing with us. Happy hunting!
I had these loaded at 3100 fps with CFE black in my 6.8 spc. I let my buddy use my rifle opening weekend and he shot a doe and nice buck. Shots were about 50 yards, doe was DRT and the buck ran 20 yards. They bullets where devastating, the whole top of the heart on the doe was just gone. Both left big exits in the ribs but smaller exits through the hide. Overall great performance
Awesome pics!! Thank you so much for sharing, this is great!
I tested these bullets in my 7mm Rem magnum into clear ballistics gel at 100 and 300 yards. Muzzle velocity was 3250 fps and the bullet performed well at both ranges. In the gel the petals only penetrated about 4.5 inches so I was concerned about quartering shots on deer. Another concern was how large of an exit I would get from the base. Well last weekend I shot a whitetail doe at a 150 yards, she was quartering towards me so I put the bullet right on the point of her shoulder. She dropped DRT, the exit wound was very large from the base. The exit was through the ribs midway on the body, so nowhere near the other front shoulder. But to my surprise, I found a petal in the exit side front shoulder. So the petals traveled much further in the deer then in ballistics gel. The bullet was absolutely devastating, when field dressing the deer I didn't even have to cut the windpipe, a petal must have done it for me. I'm hoping to take some more game with these on my next hunt
Thanks for taking the time to write this, we really appreciate it! Awesome pics and video!

* SOLD OUT * .308 180gr Rifle Maximus - 50ct Great for 30-06. These carry a long ways in ballistics tests.
At 2620 fps the bullet will perform at 1000 yards if you can hit your target that far out. :)
Excellent performance on elephant. A 23 yard frontal shot resulted in complete penetration of the skull, dropping the bull in its tracks.
Easy to get good accuracy, excellent performance stopping deer
I just used this bullet in my 45-70 Highwall to take a bison. The shot was 170 yards and performed extremely well just as advertised. The shot completely penetrated the cow and she dropped within seconds for a very clean kill. The guide complimented on the performance and other hunters shooting similar rounds were very intrigued. Thank you for the suggestion and subsequent load data.
So far they have a different group size from my Hornady 250FTX bullets. Same load for both 41 of Lil Gun.
Out of my CVA Scout 25" barrel. FTX is 2568fps and Raptor is 2534 both with different OAL. FTX size was .750 and Raptor was 1.625. Still load development, but don't want to waist a lot of money on this! If you have data on the Raptor let me have it Please! Right now will be shooting FTX as it stands.
All shot at 100yds.
I love experimenting with light bullets and reduced recoil. 308 Win - 100gr ESP Raptors rip at 3330fps with 53grs of BL-C2 powder SIG Brass and a Magnum Primer. Cutting Edge makes it happen with affordable products.
I am not a benchrest shooter but with these bullets I easily shoot under minute of angle, and they are as or more accurate that many other brands of bullets that cost more. I use WCC brass, a CCI primer and 205 grains of H50BMG with a cartridge overall length of 5.39 inches, which is a very conservative and safe load. You can buy these bullets with confidence.
