I use the Hornady Interlock (140 gr.) in my .270 Win. It shoots great and holds together well for a non-bonded bullet. I've shot several Whitetail and Mule deer with it. I wouldn't be afraid to shoot an Interlock out of a 7MM Rem mag.
I enjoy hunting by myself. I hunt with friends sometimes as well, but when I hunt alone, I can show up when I want, hunt until I feel like leaving and don't have to work around anyone's schedule but my own.
I almost put my hand on a lethargic one in MT while trying to crawl under a pine tree to look into a basin. Bout crapped myself. I've seen 3 or 4 in WY when it's hot out during antelope season. My hearing is really bad, so I'm always nervous that I won't hear one when it rattles.
