Question Which 7mag bullet

Guys, here is my dilema

I have always used Winchester 150 powerpoints. I love the killing performance of this bullet. I get wonderful expansion and penitration on neck and shoulder shots - exit holes you can stick your fist in. 2 inch groups at 100 are plenty accurate for deer kills at 300. However, I am looking into doing some more long range target practice and I'm looking to find a bullet that can group at 200-300 instead of pattern. I'm not looking for wonderful accuracy - just better accuracy.

Here's what I want
I want a 160ish-170ish bullet with a high ballistic coefficent that I can hot rod at the range. Now, I want this bullet to shoot deer with - and of course as we all know...most deer are shot under 100 yards. I would like this heavy bullet to have about the same performance as my mid-weight powerpoints. I guess I'm looking for your typical 7mag performance - 2 huge holes, a bullet that does explode yet will retain enough of itself to break down both front shoulders. So I'm definitly not looking at things such as some of the Barnes line.

What bullet do I need? I'd like to look at mid-priced and under. I'm also interested in exploring ballistic tips.

thanks
