I was going to say.... even out of a 7 Rem Mag, if you shot them at 2000 fps, and you are shooting a deer at 100 to 200 yds, that bullet would work out just fine...
was testing out a load for some one young, with a 7 x 57 and that 175 gr SP Hornady...
shot over a chrony at 1850 fps a couple of feet in front of the muzzle...
for a back stop I was using a tree as a backstop at about 100 yds, out in our millions of miles of forest here locally...
5 shots to verify the load....just for grins and giggles, I walked out to look at the backstop tree... a manzanita... say about 18 inches in diameter..
there were 5 exit holes on the back side of the tree... and they each were pretty good size exit holes...
later tried the same thing to see what it would do on a similar sized pine.. Actually a Douglas fir....
same results...
so you'll be fine with that bullet....
also rocketed them out of a 7 Mag doing load development for some friends going elk hunting......
same results... that bullet has a lot of sectional density...
