The biggest problems I see with monos are lack of velocity from short barrels and or poor powder choice & way to heavy for calibre
Generally you need a light projectile, a 7mm 110 in a Barnes generally stays at 105-110 grains so has a retained weight like or better than a 140 cup & core with much less recoil
In this country the 7mm Barnes 140 is ideal in a magnum cartridge not a 7-08, unless you are chasing Wild Bulls
The Hammers are different, they lose their nose into 2-3 grain bits of shrapnel then the base carries on to exit generally
The devastation from this performance needs to be seen to be believed
FWIW if I didn't have an icecream container literally full of loaded 110 TTSX 7-08 rounds I would only be using Hammers in our 7-08s
