Lightweight 7mm bullet?

Are there any 7mm bullets that are lighter than the 110g Speer TNT? I was curious if there is anything lighter out there (or of lighter construction), as I do not need penetration, just devastation for this form of hunting...


I know my 7mm Rem Mag really isn't a rifle to be used for varmints, but I love that gun more than any other I have owned. Being concerned with over-penetration, I would like to have a lighter bullet for (perhaps) greater fragmentation with less retained weight. The TNT's are decent, but I would like to try something different... I could just stick with my .223 but I love letting my 7mm rip when there are a bunch of .22 shooters around me, everyone looks at me like I am nuts (I love that look)...

I need something bigger...

Sierra makes 100grsHP 7mm bullets. I am loading up some 120gr VMAX and Nosler to see how the do in my 7mmRemMag. I will let you know how they shoot.

Hmm, I must have overlooked that. I didn't know about the Sierra's. I personally have used the 120g Noslers in mine (Weatherby 7mm Rem mag) with good results using IMR 4831. I am currently working up a load for them with Re22 to see if I can get it a bit hotter...

Interesting. It seems I have never seen these lighter bullets in stores or I would have known. I suppose I will need to order them online...
