Cutting-Edge 7mm 155gr MTH failure to perform properly at high velocities

- I was sent these by a subscriber for testing and on the first test shot out if a 7mm-08 the high velocity round had a higher retained weight so I tested them again using a 7mm Remington Magnum for the high velocity and again the high velocity round had higher weight retention and even higher retained weight than the high velocity 7mm-08 round even though it impacted 100 fps faster.
So I went back out and shot 5 rounds all out of the 7mm Remington Magnum and was able to capture 3 out of the 5 as the way they are failing caused them to veer bad. 100% failure at high velocities.
I have tested a lot of Cutting-Edge and haven't ever seen failures like this. I would avoid using these one for hunting.

I’ve seen nothing in the internet but videos of these bullets failing in game on hunts and like this
But on the videos cutting edge posts their all work miraculously
I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thx for down loading to slower velocities to show bullet performance. More channels should follow your efforts in showing bullet performance at low velocity.
Thank you for your compliments.
I was looking for that type of information a little over 10 years ago couldn't find it started doing some of my own testing. In the last few years I started recording it because a friend lent me a camera and encouraged me to upload them to RUclips. I'm glad he did seems like I wasn't the only one looking for this type of information.
Glad you enjoy
This isn’t the only caliber these bullets have failed. They’ll never be in any of my hand loads. Nor! Will I waste any components on testing them. Glad to see another video, supporting the other failures of this bullet.
These were sent to me by a subscriber for testing. I have tested a few different Cutting-edge bullets and so far these are the only ones that have failed. I'm thinking the very small media plat on the MTH is the primary problem. They really should just be match tactical and not hunting.
@@simplemindedfella I should have been more specific, on its usage, I wouldn’t use them for hunting purposes. Those lead free rounds, I think would be a bit costly, for matches, and out of the realm for many.
Well that didn’t go as planned. I hope to be getting my hands on some Badlands Precision Bulleozers soon in .308 flavor and I’ll send a few of those to you as well. Hopefully with their aluminum tip they will perform flawlessly. Glad I got those MTH for cheap from an estate sale…
I was a bit saprized with their lack of performance.
Hopefully the Badlands perform better.
Another great video. I’d say given their weight, trials in two rifles and previous success with brand your likely right. There’s something off. As someone stated I’d fill those tips and maybe check concentricity.
Very good to know. Unimpressive results. Thank you.
Try filling the hollow point with gulf wax or candle wax. I read that in an old book and it has worked for me to make hollow points open up sooner and bigger. Maybe it’ll provide some structure in the hollow point to keep it from failing like that
I have a few of these left, I may have to try that.
These bullets are $70 $80 a box you shouldn’t have to fill them with wax.
Thanks for the review.
Another great video! Could I send you a sample pack that I am intested in. The 162 gr eldx in 7mm?
I did enjoy the video, thanks!
Your welcome
Not fully stable and impacting with a tiny angle on the bullet?
I'm not sure why they would lose their stability when I bring the velocity over 2800 fps. Typically if stability is lost/never there it is in the reduction of velocity and RPM's not the increasing of. If I had a super tight twist barrel there could be the potential of overstability but that would require a lot tighter twist and a lot higher velocity.
The slight angle of the bullet could be why it folds the way it does because bullets do travel in flight slightly nose up and they do not hit straight on. Why that has caused these to fail like this and none of the other hunting bullets I have tested would indicate a design/engineering issue.
What twist rate is your barrel? Copper bullets tend to need more twist for stability than similar weight cup/core due to increased length.
Here is my guess: These pointed hard metal bullets will not do well on ballistics gelatin, for precisely the reason you identify. In an animal, that sharp turn is unlikely to happen, because ribs, bones etc, and even if it did happen, the bullet would veer out and make a two-end leak. Hard bullets of copper and brass with a wider meplat are going to do a lot more of the smashing you expect to see with copper jacketed lead bullets.
Hi! Could you please test the 180 gr accubond? Thanks!!
If I can get my hands on some I definitely would. I only need a dozen or so for testing so it really doesn't make sense for me to buy a full box. When submoashooting.com has them back in stock I can get a sample pack.
I've got some Cutting Edge 150, 180 Maximus 30 Cal that I'd be willing to share. just need some way of contact.
Thanks that woud be greatly appreciated.

CE should be maximuss or raptor.
Wow! That's not what I look for in a hunting bullet. Maybe a target bullet if the price is right
Maximus not MTH for hunting
