Does any one make a single shot pistol bullet in 7mm?

It is hard to find a 7mm bullet than will expand at the low speed of a 7mmBR. I have tried several brands but it gets expensive  just to take a couple shots and then realize I could dig the bulet out of the ground and reload it. Maybe some one can help. thanks.

What kind of velocity are you getting from your rig?  And what bullet(s) have you tried?

 

I like Hornady's 120gr V-Max for my old Competitor pistol chambered in 7mm-08Rem.

I get between 2200 and 2500 fps. thats from the book, i haven't shot through a chrono. I have looked at the vmax's. The box info claims expansion at slow speeds. But they are trying to sale something.

Sierra HP's. Nosler BTips. Partion's.
