bwinters,
The bullet did exactly what I would have expected it to do at that m/v. If you want less goo, go mono with the 7wsm. I've used the 140 Nosler BT at 3300 from the 7wsm. I know what carnage looks like.
I hear you on carnage. I've shot lots of deery creatures with every common cup/core bullet from various high vel 7mm's and have seen ugliness at close range. I was hoping for a bit more from the Accubond because a 140 Partition at similar speeds punches through both sides and doesn't leave a big mess. Problem is my rifle shoots much better with Accubonds. Its 1.5 - 1.75 with 140 Partitions. Plus the 140 Accubond at 3200 is plain ole flat shooting.
As most know, I'm not a mono fan due to several bad experiences with TSX's in small calibers. My 7RM really perks with 120 TSX's. Likely try 120 TTSX's in addition to 160 Accubonds. I know if I slow Accubonds down a bit they'll work fine. Kind of defeats the purpose though........
