Purchased some 7mm 154 RN Hornady bullets from a board member last winter, and finally got a chance to put one through a deer. Stepped velocity down to the 2550ish mark over 47 grains of IMR 4350. Groups running in the 1.5" range, which is about par for the rifle. Performance was everything I could ask for in a meat gun load. Pass through on a quartering away cavity shot on a large bodied whitetail with sufficient damage to leave a good blood trail but not too much poof. Wish they still made this bullet, ideal for woods ranges.
