Thanks JB and Bob for A. being really civil, B. bringing a wealth of knowledge to a good thread.
To me, the perfect hunting bullet is on the market - Speer Tipped Trophy Bondy Bear Claw. Why they don't bring them out as component bullets is beyond me. I'm tempted to buy a few boxes, pull the bullets and do my own development using a powder or two that has performed well in the past for the 7RM.
I've always like the TBBC but the abysmal BC associated with the "protected point" has prevented my using them. The tipped version should take care of that. Plus give great weight retention, a wide hole, good penetration - in short the perfect bullet
