Is there one since Hornady discontinued their 175 bullet?

Duckear, Although not true round nose bullets, woodleigh and swift aframes are available in 175 grain. Andy#3

Closest that I can think of is the Norma Oryx 170gr. Not quite a round nose.

Remington corelokts, if you can find them. They are excellent bullets.

Going through my inventory I found 6 boxes of handloaded Corelokts and two boxes of HAWK RN loaded ammo..Hawk might be your best bet, get the thickest jacket they offer as they are bloody soft..

But todays round nose bullets offer little in penetration and that early on was their big suit. Todays RN in med calibers have nothing to offer over a spritzer.

Hornady still offers a 154 RN as I recall and perhaps a 160 or 162, not sure..I used them some years ago on deer and they were too hard in my 7mm, got no expansion.

I hunt with Fed. Prem. in my 7mm Rem Mag. with 175 gr. Trophy Bonded Bearclaws.

Another great bullet for the 7mm IMHO.
