I use the Sierra 140 Pro Hunter over 66gr of IMR 4350 in my 7mm RM, it it very accurate and at 3,150 fps leaves the chest cavity contents pour-able. The hydrolic effect is such that you do not chase anything, anywhere. With a neck shot, the entire neck turns into a wound cavity, surrounded by skin again no chasing.
Best,
Ed

Hey Petey, dont dis my .243. Even on the REAL deer we have here in Saskatchewan, they dont run 40 yards with a good lung shot. I would rather have a gun that I can shoot confidently and accurately than one that can blow a foot-wide hole through a deer. Not saying that I cant shoot one of those guns though...
BTW a 7 STW can blow up deer with almost any bullet, if its loaded fast enough. My huntin pal loads 175 gr Fail-Safes to whats he claims is about 3400fps. I didnt believe him until I saw a deer that had been hit with one of his loads. 200yds instant drop but heres the kicker, the bullet blew up and didnt exit! Poor deer had a 5in. entry wound, no exit, no lungs left in him, no liver, and only half a heart. That was FAST!
