Dogger. About the Nolsers not penetrating. I would imagine the the bullet was one of the Ballistic Tips. The Nosler partition penetrates, believe me on that. The only 6.5 I ever had any experience with was a Mannlicher-Schoennaur in 6.5x54MM. The Norma 140 gr. bullets penetrated california blacktails real well even on fairly extreme quartering shots. In the 7x57, I like 150 gr. bullets. I've had good results from the 154 gr. Hornady Interlock. I've been thinking of trying the 145 gr. Speer SPFB Hot-Core bullet, but for some reason, the loacal dealers don't have it in stock. I have had real good results from Speers 165 gr. .30 caliber bullet in the .308, so I see no reason why the 145 gr. Speer 7mm bullet should not work just as well.
Sierra's are accurate, but in my experience tend to be a bit soft. I don't much care for boattail bullets either. They seem to shed their cores to easily to suit me.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
