The 7X64 will approximate the .280 Rem power wise.Your opening a can of worms with the ballistic tips.They are very accurate but some find them too fragile[explosive] on game bigger than deer.I've seen surface wounds on antelope with 100gr 25-06 ballistic tips and exit wounds like a football with 130gr .270 on mule deer.Too eratic to suit me.I use almost exclusively Hornady interlocks and Partitions.This is a matter of personal preference like the Ford/Chev debate.....................to each thier own.................Harold


Harold,
I was thinking about using the ballistic tips for my .257 Roberts. You've had good luck with the Hornady's?
