My experience with Ballistic Tips has lead me to the opinion that they are ideal deer bullets in "heavy for deer" calibers if you go to the heaviest Ballistic Tip you can find for your caliber. I shoot 150 grain B.T. in my 270; 180 grain B.T. in my 300 Win., for example.
You didn't say what weight you were using in the 7 Mag, but I suspect it was a light version.
Ballistic Tips in my rifles are very accurate, and they provide good blood trails as well as fewer tracks after the shot than "harder" bullets like Nosler's Partitions.
I like them for deer.
