7mm, 130gr.. Where to find?

[powder burner]

Seems that I can only find 130gr in Speer btsp. These shoot great for me, but wanting to know if there are any other manufacturers that build 130 7mm hunting bullets. I'd like to get a premium type bullet in 130.

I'm getting 3060 fps from my 7-08 using the speed btsp. Would love a good bonded type of bullet at that speed. Nipping at heels of 270 in 130. Lots of options for 270 with 130gr, why not in 7mm08 in 130gr?

I think historically, shooters have preferred a little more sectional density than the 130 gr. 7mm. The s.d. of the 140/7mm is .248, almost identical to the 130/.270 at .242. The 130/7mm comes in at .230. Whether that has any relevance with modern premium bullets is a matter of opinion. Personally I've never gone lower than 140 gr. in the 7mm.

You would have to drop down to 120gr for Barnes solids which is a decent option for deer etc.

Too bad. The 130gr , 277 is offered in accubond. Oh well.

Anyone use the Speer btsp on deer in 7mm08?
