Cool another michigander!!!! I would shoot both first and see how they perform. They are both excellent bullets from waht ive seen, but as some of these guys have said, my experience with that caliber has shown that it tends to like the 175 best.

BARNES X or WINCHESTER FAIL SAFE>>>>>>>>

165grain barnes molly coated, hand loaded

From my experience, I would say that the Core Lock, I been shooting deer with both the old and the new version of it in 7mm Rem Mag. I usually take the 150 load but the 175 should work fine.

Good luck!

When used to shoot the 7mm RM,I liked the 160 gr. Noslers,great all-around bullet from antelope to Moose.
