Most of us now use heavy for caliber premium C&C and find they are more reliable overall.
A Heavy C&C ,308 cal 220 gr at a 2000 fps impact velocity blew my 7 STW away using a 175 gr Tsx at the same impact velocity. Then the lights came on. I guess that's why I'm a high SD fanboy.

If you were using 175gr 7mm monometal bullets then you were not using the monometal bullets like myself and my hunting partners do. The monometal bullets typically perform best at lighter weights and higher velocities, and the people that seem to be the least impressed with monometal bullets , are the people that use heavy for caliber monometal bullets. Using a heavier weight, higher SD monometal bullet will actually prevent you from seeing the true potential of monometal bullets.
