Whats grain bullets everyone shooting out of their 7mm Rem Mags.

I'm very familiar with the term in the context you used it....basically any legal jacketed or mono metal big game hunting bullet...lol.

Nope, I don't think you are.

 

[stubblejumper]

Nope, I don't think you are.

Definitely not! As posted previously, have a look at the Hornady web page, and it's obvious that they don't use that term to describe all of their legal jacketed bullets.

140 grain tsx

This ^^. The Barnes TSX is a monolithic or monometal bullet and gives textbook expansion with essentially 100% weight retention (I have recovered bullets). And, yes, in answer to your question, 140 grain is good for everything that moves.

*yawn* It's okay to say you learned something stubble. Once again I'm done with your nonsense....the last word is yours because I know how important that is to you.

175 Remington core-lokt works good for me on deer and moose.

 

[Charlie38]

160 or 175 gr Nosler partitions for hunting, 162gr Hornady BTSP for target practice

So it's nonsense on my part, that you aren't willing to accept that the terminology that I chose, seems to be the terminology that many knowledgeable people , including the bullet manufacturers, have used for many years? I guess that I shouldn't be surprised by that.

160 grain Accubonds in my Kimber. Its a good one size fits most bullet.

 

[quarterman]

I usually use a 162 gr horady sst. This year I decided to try a 140 gr nosler accubond. both are a great choice

 

[arcstarter]

I've been using 140gr Barnes TTSX

 

[tuffbuff]

160 a-frames, partitions, x-bullets I shot for years. The 7 don't get out much lately but is sighted in with 160 accubonds right now, and would try some 150's - swift scirroco, barnes tsx/ttsx, fusions.

I use 162g Hornady SST's I don't really know why I picked them but that's what I have been using. They work good on deer. I shot an elk with them and have seen moose shot with them, they worked.

Have also used the 162g Hornady interlocks, 154g hornady interlocks, 120g Nosler ballistic tips, 175g partition, 165g Sierras in the Federal factory ammo, 150g Winchester power points factory ammo. They all worked about the same on deer. Used a 120g TSX and found it did not make a large enough wound channel for my liking, and no audible sound of a hit. Used a 100g TTSX (in a 7-08) and did not like that either.

Hello Thank you for the replies and suggestions. i really like the partitions and interlocks, tried the tsx. accurate but found that they pencil through at close range.

 

[mbogo3]

Son's Win 70 classic likes 160gr Accubond Body count a cow moose and a WT doe this fall.Recovered bullets look great from moose. Next cow elk in Dec perhaps. My Sako Finnbear prefers the 160gr Partition still passing deer for now season closes Nov 30.Harold

 

[dpopl8r]

160-168 grains for me. Currently 162 Amax is my go to.

 

[tylerjwitty]

My Amax experience in bears just zipped on thro and carried on . good thing a 3006 with blue box federal was with in the hunt or things would be bad

 

[huntersmith]

140 gr Nosler B.Tips with 68 gr of IMR7828 is the only load I have used for 10 years. Deer and coyote.

Hmmmmm, ok.

 

[BubbaG]

I used to get really good accuracy out of Hornady 168gr SST's loaded to about 2800fps out of my Savage.

Cheers

Sounds legit to me, except the close range part. Non expansion has been shown many times not only with the TSX but ALL the bullets relying on material entering a tiny hole and then hydraulic force to open it. The smaller the hole and tougher the jacket the more unreliable expansion becomes.
