Although I agree that the 160gr. Accubond is probably the better all around weight, I currently use the 140 gr Accubond in my 7mm WSM. Hunting game heavier than deer is not in my immediate future.

Last fall I hit an antelope facing me in the chest at 100 yards. The bullet failed to make the diaphragm. Bang. Flop. Lungs and top of the heart were red goo.

This year I punched two sideways through another antelope at 315 yards. He humped up with the first shot and collapsed with the second. Damage to the organs looked a whole lot more like the damage I've seen from Ballistic Tips instead of Partitions, although it was obvious that the bullets were opening a bit later than BT's would have.

I plan on using the same load on whitetails next weekend. Guess I'll find out how well it works at about 50 yards. Field dressing may be a bit messy.
