7mm 174gr PPU pointed soft points in the 7 Mag

As we all know a lot of bullets we would like to buy are not available. However , these PPU's are available and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I just ordered some and will follow up but I thought there might be someone out there that has shot some. These will most likely be used on Feral hogs in the Mississippi Delta.
 
Well I received a hundred of these from Graff's . Not the best looking bullets I have ever seen but better than Core-Lokts which have always shot well for me. Fired a couple of test rounds with Ramshot " Magnum" and they shoot pretty well. I will update this when my load development is complete.
 
Attached is a picture of a loaded round

I should mention that I am also using PPU brass for the first time in my 7 mag . It seems to be about the same quality of my usual Remington brass.
I have tried it in my 6.5 Creedmoor and 22 Hornet with good results.

I use PPU brass in a couple of different firearms. I am up to the 6th loading in my 7X57. It is holding up well. I used a lot of PPU bullets in my IHMSA days. They always shot good enough for me to be competitive.
 
I bought some a while back. I only have imr7828 but I plan on trying them out soon in my 7mm rem mag as well. Factory prvi partisan has always treated me well. Before I reloaded for 44 magnum I found their 300gr soft point offering to be much more accurate than the small sampling of factory ammo I tried. I harvested a lot of deer with that ammo.
