Default RE: 7mm rem mag

I've taken deer and hogs with the 7 MAG and have really good luck with Federal Premium's 140 gr. Nosler Partition.
There are so many bullet designs out there now, but with a high velocity round like a 140 gr. bullet in a 7 MAG, I want something that will open up and close AND longer ranges to transfer KE into the animal and start a good wound channel, BUT also have the ability to hold together and penetrate all the way through the animal.
Every deer and hog I've shot with this load has been a bang/flop....maybe just lucky so far....but it sure builds confidence.....actually as I type this I cant imagine why I've posted so many questions about "deer and hog caliber opinions" looking back on those kind of results.......huh...kinda' feel like a dork now.

Anyway, I'm also really interested in playing with some of the Nosler Accubond bullets. Just think....a bullet as accurate and flat shooting as the famous Nosler Balistic Tip.....but not NEARLY as prone to over-expanding on a close up shot. Pretty hard to ignore how effective this bullet could be in a fast round like the 7 MAG.
