I figured would probably shoot similar poi as the 130 .

I have got some to try (gmx) was more intersted in peoples experience of terminal performance in the 3000-3100fps muzzle velocity range.
Another option may be the e tip ?

That was going to be my suggestion. The GMX were horrible in my gun, Barnes shot great gut too expensive to practises and I am not a believer in loads for this and loead for that because SURE AS GOD MADE LITTLE APPLES YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE WRONG LOAD in the gun.
I see bugger all deer now so I don't want to bugger up any chance I have

I like the coppers for private hunting where generally you can recover the whole animal.
178 amax at nearly 3000fps makes one hell of a mess.

Accubonds for near and far

Used GMX in my 7mm a couple back. Nothing like the accubond for accuracy. As far as performance I won't use them again. A lot of shock and meat damage and they always ran at least 15m. All within 300m.
Accubond similar POI? I'll only use them or Barnes unless using the legendary SP.

7mm what Danny? Shock and meat damage is surprising. ... thats the main reason for wanting to use a monolithic up close lack of meat damage.

Up close damage would be similar to other cup and core projectiles?

Shouldn't be as the accubond won't break apart at all from experience.

not cup and core, bonded so designed to hold together, not as good at saving meet as full cooper though

Why save meat? That just means it takes longer before you can hunt again

7mm08 sorry, the one occasion that changed my mind for sure was a stag broadside at 70m. Damage was extreme.
Basically all apart from the rear leg on the side facing was dog tucker. 139grain GMX. Bullet retention was weighed at 95%.
This stag ran 100m before I found him down, he needed finishing.
