Default Soft Point or Ballistic Tip?

Howdy guy's, I have been shooting 140 Grain Nosler Ballistic Tips in my 7MM Rem.Mag. for quite a while now.I have had various results from these bullets over the years.From Violent explosions, ( on impact) to complete pass thru and anywhere in between ( which might come from the fact that I'm getting 3350 F.P.S. out of a 26" bbl).I recovered 1 bullet over the years and it weighed out at 89 Grains retained. That's the most I have ever found.I have always liked the B/T.But before they came out I almost exclusively shot the Hornady Boat Tail Spire Points out of bolt guns.I think I can still get the Hornady's in 139 Grain,But I have a couple of questions.


1.Does the BTSP stay together at 7MM velocitys?( It did alright in the 6MM size)


2.Does anybody else use this projectile,And how do you like them ?


3.What would you think of a Boat Tail Hollow Point by Hornady?


4. What other projectile would you recomend?


All these questions are for hunting rounds and depend on the accuracy of said loads......Thanks ......Alton
