I bought a couple boxes of .284 160 grain Speer Hot-Cor bullets to try in my Ruger tanger 7x57. Pushed at 2700ish fps, what would be the difference in performance in it and a Nosler partition pushed at the same velocity in elk sized game?

None that you would ever notice.

I wouldn’t think a whole lot at those speeds myself. Those were fairly tough bullets.

Deer will be dead with either one, people tend to overthink bullets.

I’ve used 150gr Hotcores out of a 270 on a number of elk. I’ve also used 150 gr PT’s on elk. I saw very little difference. The hot cores deformed a bit more but bullet weight loss was about the same.

One of my early favorite 7x57 bullets. Used with great success on feral hogs and deer until I got a great deal on a bunch of 150 grain Ballistic Tips from SPS. Finally shot all those up and now run the 145 gr. Speer BTSP.

160 flat base hot cors open up quickly and go deep, usually through deer.
