    Round nose 7mm

    Hi guys looking for some round nose bullets for in close 30 to 150 yards.
    Have had a look at the Hawk bullets but as there not as yet registered with ATF they don’t ship past the States boarders

    Bit of a shame....here’s a link https://hawkbullets.com/bullet-selection.html I like how they give you jacket thickness options.

    So I’m looking for something similar to this in design.

    Side note the .025 to .035 is the jacket thickness. Cool idea wish the other companies would pick up on this.

    How about reloading one of these

    Have you tried the horandy or speer? I've used both in 170g or 175 and they work well on sambar

    Year I’ve been using the Hornardy interlock.
    But it’s not really a true round nose.
    Most of what I’ve used is the Partition in 160g. Had some really good kills with this. But was looking for some old school stuff for the 7x57.

    Hornady use to make a 175gr RN, someone might still have some somewhere.

    I have 16 of these if you want them, came with some gear I bought and I don't have any 7mm calibres so I've got no use for them

    I shoot sellior & bellot FMJs for practice,these soft points are simple cup and core but would be fine for what you are doing I reckon.
