    I like the 154 gr interbonds and have shot a few game with them, none recovered, the interlocks are fine cup and core bullets, and half the price of bonded, they work ok, but if shooting think skinned game I choice the bonded bullet, deer wont matter, except samber up close, but I would shoot cattle, bear's, buffalo, moose with bonded.

    I tried the 175 gr Noslar LRAB in my 7mm Mag which is a Tikka 695 with a standard Tikka T3 barrel, it shoots them pretty good as does the 162 gr ELDX. If you could get a sample pack of them to try it may be worthwhile.

    A 175Gr Nosler Partition is shorter than any of the ELD / VLD type 160gr+ bullets so will stabilize fine in a 9.5 twist barrel
