So are you now attesting that the bonded Coreloct isn't effective at 3000+fps MV, or more likely that it experiences bullet failures above that velocity, therefore it performs better at the lower velocities of the 7mm-08?
Ultimately, you're missing the point. I'll come clean, I'm goading you. You're making blanket statements that CASE DESIGN caused run off deer, by backing up that the bullet behaves great in 7mm-08, but obviously the short fat case of the 7mm WSM screwed up the bullet in some way such that it doesn't perform anymore. In not so many words, you've suggested that it would have been fine at the same velocity coming out of the 7mm RM.
It's 100% fair to say that the bullet selection of a bonded coreloct isn't a good choice for 3000fps+ cartridges (he11, that'd even be valuable information), but that's not what you are saying. You're saying that a CASE DESIGN caused a bullet you believe in, to fail. Which is flat dumb.
