I'm considering two different bullets and loads for the 7mm Rem Mag, with regards to the best penetration for dangerous or heavy boned game.
From the data i can gather, this is what I can do with commercial bullets and standard pressure loads:
1) 140gr Barnes Banded Solid Spitzer at about 3,200fps
2) 175gr A-Square round nose solid at about 2,800fps
The round nose bullet has traditionally been the default bullet for such an application, but the solid spitzers look promising. So what I'm asking is, what would penetrate better: a faster solid spitzer, or a heavier solid round nose?
