Heavy for caliber for close range shots
New to the forum here, 30+ years hunting experience under my belt and still learning. So to my question:
I recently acquired a NIB X-Bolt 7 RM. I want to carry it this year for no other reason than to change things up a bit. However, my hunting involves heavy woods where 75% of my shots are sub 100 yards, with the majority falling between 30-70 yards. So with these short distances and 7RM velocities, would a heavy for caliber bullet be a wise choice to maintain the bullets integrity at high impact speed? I've read a lot that whitetail don't offer enough "resistance" to expand heavier bullets, but I don't know if I'm on board with that.
I don't reload, and I'm looking at 175gr fusions, but any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks
