I don't shoot cup and core in my 7 mag. i likely won't get two holes but the same bullet works wonders when slowed down to 7mm-08 speed. I shoot Sierra Gameking 160's in my 7 Mag and there is no question you will shoot right through a broadside whitetail, both shoulders, bone, whatever and blow a hole right out the other side as big as a post-it note. Try it.

The accubonds would be a fine choice as others have stated. I’ll probably get banned for saying this but I love 140 Nosler BT in a 7-08. I’ve got plenty of 180-210LB bucks that found out yes in deed a BT will not bounce off in fact penetrates both shoulders. At 7-08 velocities, a 140 BT is a fine choice. Problems can occur when pushed to 7mm magnum velocities.

Just my opinion, but I like speer 145 gr spritzers in my 7mm-08. I've had pass troughs on all deer even when through both shoulders. The only ones that didn't were length wise shots.Most bullets wont. I despise Hornady Interlocks, I've had bad experiences with them. Sierra pro hunters are good, deer generally run a short distance before stopping, however, a good blood trail can be expected Nosler partitions are very good. Probably optimal. The 139 gr.Hormady Interbonds and Nosler 140 gr. accubonds are near optimal as well. However, the Speer spritzer performs as well as any of the more expensive bullets. I've killed numerous deer with all the bullets listed except the Accubonds. They are similar to the Interbonds and should work just as well. I've been reloading for nearly thirty years and have shot just about all the big names. The partitions and the two bonded are standouts, however, I've found the speer to perform just as well on deer as the more expensive ones. I hunt swamps and need/demand a good blood trail.

I'm pretty happy with the accubond so far. I got to shoot my first deer last Sunday with the new rifle and caliber and am very happy. I only sat there about 45 minutes and I thought I heard something walking behind me but figured it was just a squirrel until it blew at me standing in the road I walked in on. I unzipped the back window of my blind and looked up to see a deer take off running out through the pines but I kept looking in that direction hoping that she may stop and look back but I never saw her again. While looking behind me though there was another big bodied doe at about 40 yards facing me looking straight at me. I shot her right in the chest facing me with the 140 accubond and she did a back flip hit the ground and kicked a few times and that was the end. As I was skinning her I found the bullet right in front of the left ham. I have not weighed the bullet yet to see how much it weighs but was very happy with it and this was the first bullet that I have ever found after shooting a deer.

If pic shows up this is a 120 NBT I done just to see how thick the jacket is. It would be interesting to see how the jacket compared to a 140 gr BT.

I like pass thrus. The 120ttsx has done very well for me with good expansion. That’s all I use in my 7 Mag. 120ttsx at 3400 is hard to beat.
