Too much velocity and a non-bonded bullet is not a good thing. IMHO, a NP out of a 7mm mag is a recipe for wounded and lost animals in many cases, especially on african game. The closer you are, the worse off you are when using this combo. Yeah, I know. A 160 NP out of your buddy's 7mm mag turned an elk into jello and fire danced around the entry wound for 10 minutes. Try that same combo on a zebra or wildebeest and let us know how it worked for you.
I have not been to Africa but a couple of friends have shot and killed a considerable number of animals, on cull hunts over there, including zebra and wildebeest with a 7 Rem Mag and 175 Nosler Partitions.They said that combo knocked the snot out of all those animals and others up to eland in size,so this comment caught my eye.
Is there something about wildebeest and zebra that makes them tougher than bull elk,and immune to Nosler Partitions and 7 mags?
