I am assuming you mean 7-08 ammo. What does the box say? They have been loaded with a variety of bullets over the years - most recently plain vanilla Sierra soft points, Speer hot cors and Speer Grand Slams (I wish I would have bought a few more boxes of those!).

Saskcop this box say 150gr soft point

The boxes ive seen onlineactually had 'speer hot cor' on it.

These just looked the same projectile?
Might be Sierra ones?

Viagara!!

That is funny. In some ways true too!

I have seen some blue federal boxes actually say Speer Hot-Cor on them, and since Speer and Federal are both owned by ATK, I assume the bullets are Hot-Cor.

yeah rightio , I too had seen them advertised online with "hot cor" but the boxes I buy in Aus just say 150 sp

the lead has 85% completely separated.
have no weighed the projectile yet but will do

Its a standard cup and core soft point.

Its not meant for weight retention.
