Dre,

Would love to hear why you think a 160 AccuBond might not work at 50 yards. I've seen a lot of 7mm 16p Accubonds shot into big game, some at considerably higher muzzle velocities than from the OP's rifle, with nary a problem. One was shot into the shoulder of a wildebeest the size of a mature bull elk, at around 50 yards by a hunting companion with his 7mm Dakota, muzzle velocity around 3200 fps. It worked fine, breaking the shoulder and ending up under the hide on the far side.

This thread is a classic instance of paralysis by analysis, something apparently encounraged by the Internet. Apparently we can't go hunting anymore without initiating a Campfire poll.

Any of the three will work fine for the OP's purpose, as will a bunch of other bullets.
