As a dedicated handgun hunter and proponent of using .357 Magnum handguns on deer size game I had to give the HG Raptors a try for the 2025 whitetail season . I only got one opportunity to test this bullet out this season and the results can be seen in the photo. I look forward to using these bullets on future hunts.
These bullets are extremely accurate and load data was a breeze. Highly recommend! I'm excited to see what they do on elk this fall.
Very nice looking bullets, but they don’t group out of my 1: 14 twist Ruger 22 hornet
These bullets group great out of my smokeless muzzloader ! They out perform many other “long range bullets”
Shoots well, fairly accurate at 3321 fps!
I am shooting a 375 Ruger using ADG brass.
Great bullets and awesome customer service
Shot a meat hog at 118 yards with my .300 wsm 2900 fps @ the muzzle. slippped it between the hide and carcass type angle and it blew the hide off of the carcass in an 18-20” diameter circle and went on to exit . After shooting the MTH in my lapua with disappointing accuracy, I can say these Maximus shoot much better out of both my rifles I’ve tried them in so far. Can’t wait to try a big boar at some more range.
These are the best shooting bullets on the market by far. I will use these from now on. The 2 shots are solid the 4 shots are Raptors at 100yards
Great bullet for my 500. I wish there was a crimp groove or space between driving bands closer to nose of bullet.....crimping in 1st driving band creates a cartridge slightly too long. Got it to work tho.
Very clean, very accurate, and very repeatable. All cold barrel first-shots were dead on, one hole at 150 yards. Warm barrel, group opened up to .75 inch. Ammunition is far better than I am.
The most consistent bullets I have ever used, with these bullets and my spotter Bob Bob, we got 3rd Place in the Winter Blast Deep South ELR
Very accurate. No deviation in weight. Highly recommend

.358 160gr Rifle Maximus - 50ct This is my 3rd purchase of cutting edge bullets. Each time, they amaze me. Bullets arrive in plastic boxes individually packed, very uniform, load well, and good accuracy. Have not had a chance to harvest an animal with them yet, but expect nothing but great results from them.
Pushing the envelope in my 37XC rig, and these Cutting Edge 400gr SINGLE FEED Lazer-Tipped Hollow Points are straight fire for anyone chasing true ELR performance.
Took them out past a mile recently, and they flat-out delivered. Superb stability through the transonic zone, laser-like precision once I had the environmental dope locked in, and the high ballistic coefficient kept the drop and wind drift manageable even in gusty Texas conditions. Groups were impressively tight for that distance — these monolithic copper bullets fly like they're on rails.
I've tried CE bullets in my .270 Win and 6.5 PRC. By following the suggested process, using the projection measurements listed for each cartridge on the CE website, they are easy to load and as accurate as anything out there. I haven't had a chance to rate their performance on game yet, but am pretty sure they will do the job when the time comes.
Samantha, You we're, and Cutting Edge has been excellent to deal with. Quality and service goes beyond! Thank you again!
Bought these bullets for my custom 300 prc. Loaded up a few with H1000 N570 powder. Shot them and they were printing sideways. This is not a knock on the company I have used 180 lazers in my 300 win mag and did great. The projectile looks cool as hell. But unfortunately they will not work in this rifle.
Hi Jeffery, we really appeciate this feedback. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. did you by chance try any other powders? Sometimes a powder change makes a HUGE difference.
Among other offerings form Cu only vendors, I have used the Lazer, Raptor, Maximus, and the MTH and I can honestly say the Lazer is in a class by itself. I have never received a lot with this stringent of QC and consistency. There is obviously something to be said about loading practices and other components used to make a complete round, but even using mid range equipment (MEC press, Hornady trickler, hand primer) I was able to achieve single digit SD and ES on five round groups. But how many trials did it take to achieve these results; because it is hard to stomach "wasting" rounds tuning them to your rifle at this price? 3. Yes, you read that right, 3 different charge loads and I was getting sub .5" at 100 yds. at 500, I was still under 3". yes they are expensive, but that price is justified for anyone wanting to remove the bullet as a variable in accuracy. I will continue to buy the MTH series for everyday loads, but for anything ELR or needing extreme accuracy this is the only bullet I will buy. I also had a friend try a few on his factory bergara 300wsm and he got just over 1/2" on three rounds with no tuning to his rifle. The recipe could not be simpler, follow the jump recommendations, use quality brass, and never look back.
Used the 168gr in my 7PRC to harvest 3 whitetail deer at 80 ,180,and 400 yards. The MTH performance was great pass threw in all cases with wound path similar in all. Did not produce meat damage.
I've bought these bullets in several different diameters and weights for several of my hunting rifles because I love how they perform at the range. I got my first chance to use them while hunting last weekend and they did not disappoint. The hog I shot dropped in its tracks and there was no shortage of blood coming from the exit wound , but cutting it open was my favorite part as I lost almost no meat. Fantastic performance out of my 18" .30-30 Ackley Improved, I cannot recommend these bullets enough.
Most consistent bullets on the market.
