    Pretty heavy ejector marks there, better back it off a few grains.

    Just dont use hornady 1shot for this. I've got footage of spooky white tracer smoke going a full 100m out of my muzzle on every shot. 156417

    Checked my camera, more than 3 months since I last checked it so expected batteries to be dead but they were still going (95% according to camera). Mostly boys hanging around. 157817 157818 157819

    Personal experience here. This one ended up with no damage to hunters, but a 5 day walk with a stainless steel walking stick: Early 90's, did a looong walk through the Ruahines with a couple of...

    160 gn partition would be my 1st choice out of 7mmRM for big stuff, & for the ranges you’ve stated. Bonded pills like 160Abs or 150gn Swift Scirocco would also be pretty useful
