But if there was what would it be?
I'll defend the use of match bullets and light monos at warp all day and still if I could only ever use one projectile for hunting all North American big game species at a variety of ranges I'd probably opt for the federal trophy bonded tip or newer version, terminal ascent.
Fun fact, they did ballistic gel tests on a bunch of hunting bullets (can't remember which publication) at 100 and 400 yards and the trophy bonded tip was the only one that penetrated less at 400 than it did at 100 because even at reduced velocities it expands so darn well. And that solid copper shank means there is no maximum velocity. Tough to beat that.
That's a tough one, but definitely would not a bonded bullet.
I would take the SST bullet. The all around weight would be 162gr in 7mm. Will handle any game in North America, except brown bear, and I don't plan on hunting one, so I'd be 100% covered with this bullet.
