Well , for sure there's no "wrong" answer to the question with a 7 mag . But crunch some figures thru your ballsitic calculator . Compare a very high b.c. bullet like a 160 gr 7mm spitzer at around 3100 fps to a hyper speed load (say 3300 and up) with a bullet of lessor ballistic qualities and you will see there is precious little difference in drop at 400 yards . Farther than that , I think striking energy will begin to favor the heavy slug more and more ......besides , I've been shooting lead bullets for thirty years and there is just something wrong with the idea of throwing copper instead of lead . HehHeh grin
