I like the 225 Sierra for my Whelen's. I've had great luck in accuracy and performance with it.

This year a wounded a Oryx with my 7600 Whelen with a 225 grn Hawk bullet. I cant claim failure, but we're almost certain the bullet went exactly where it should have gone and we only found blood for about 300 yds. After about a half mile we found the group of Oryx bedded and jumped them, looking like nothing was wrong with them.

Again, just an anecdotal. These animals are known to be tough as hell, so it might have just been oryx being oryx. It was the first animal I've lost in a long time and it sure did burn.
