Are your loading yourself or buying factory ammo?
The two best penetrating bullets I've used in my 7 mag are A-frames and Failsafes, but neither are boat-tail bullets so LR accuracy and consistency isn't the best. Barnes makes some great bullets as well, but the only one I've used in my 7 mag isn't made anymore.....the 160gr MRX.
I've used a bunch of 175gr Partitions and they shoot and work well too, but they do shed that front end.
as said above, "they do shed that front end" ... Partitions and Accubonds are DESIGNED to do just that, I'd have supposed that everyone would have read John Nosler's historical story of how the Partition bullet came to be - I seriously doubt there is much, if any, "long range" shooting for plains game in Africa - Use A-frames and forget about it ....... In NA Partitions and Accubonds will get your job done (but "I" would use A-frames if I was hunting big bears)
