I'd rather use a 140-160 Swift Aframe than anything else mentioned here so far.Concerns about reliable expansion and broad enough frontal area just go away; weight retention is higher than the partition,on a par with the TSX,and they shoot sufficiently flat for any rational use,IME as flat as a partition when started at the same velocity.

They MAY not penetrate as far as a TSX but they will penetrate as deep as you'll ever need.A 140 started at 3300-3350 from the STW will be a bomb; ditto a 160 at 3250-3300.

I can't think of anything except brown bear on this continent that I'd hesitate to hunt with these loads.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
