Default RE: 7mm & Big Game

The triple shocks Ive just used in the Ultra. The 7MM Mag, I always used Nosler Partitions as I had a sweet load worked up in the partitions long before the triple shock bullets came out. In the Ultra, the triple shock, its a great bullet. However, it works for deer sized game but its actually too good of a bullet for lighter game. Doesnt open up much as the exit holes are usually small. On elk though, the Ultra, depending on exact angle of the shot, will usually not exist unless its close range. Ive found alot of bullets in the hide of the exist side would be on the elk. Only a suggestion with what I do. Ive found a load that shots the triple shock and the Hornady SST exactly in the same spot. For bigger game I use the barnes and deer sized I use the SST's as they work awesome on smaller game.
