7 mm rem mag deer load

[Bushbasher]

Anyone have a good 7 mm rem deer load?

 

[remington jim]

140 ttsx over top of 68 grs RL22 and a Fed215 sparker all in RP Cases ! RJ

 

[Buckmastr]

140 Barnes and 69/70 gr RL22 in W-W cases

 

[mbogo3]

66gr N165/Fed mag primer/Fed brass/140gr Hornady SP under 1/2"groups at 100 yards haven't chronied it yet but shot deer with it.Bang flops.

 

[manitou210]

140 gr nolser acubond , imr4350 max load

 

[stabby]

What Remington Jim said: Barnes ttsx 140 gr! great ammo but not cheap

 

[Dogleg]

140 NBT or AB, 150 NBT, 160 AB, 139 or 154 interlocks, just about anything but a mono. Its a deer not a rhino

 

[Lefty Dick]

145gr LRX’s and IMR 7828, in R-P cases, and CCI 250 primers.

 

[Why not?]

No need for speed. A Speer 145 gr spitzer and a mild Fudd load of 4350 works like a charm all the way out to 300 yards.

I have both speed and accuracy .You can load to to .280 ballistics if you want.

 

[Lastgun]

150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip over 71 grains of IMR7828 kills most any thin skinned game like lightening...Shoots mighty flat too at 3250fps out my
24 inch barrel.

Previously it was a 175 gr partition, on top of a max charge of H870. But now I don't own a 7 mag, and Hodgdon discontinued 870 20 years ago.

 

[Leatherstocking]

120 grn TTSX, 65 grn IMR 4831.

 

[sigp226]

160 gr Sierra Gameking, 60 gr IMR 4831 speed is around 2930FPS in my rem 700.

realistically,whatever load shoots accurately in your rifle . The 7 mag has lots of oomph for white tail so the only real question is the performance of the bullet on impact, not what's pushing it out the barrel. From experience I would stay away from Nosler Ballistic tips. They tend to explode at typical 7 mag velocity . I've gone to Barnes TTSX and I imagine the Partition bullets would be good as well. 7RM is fast and will do a lot of meat damage so try to watch your bullet placement. Good hunting.

 

[350 Mag]

162 ELD-X 64 gr H4831SC.

160 gr Accubond with H1000 or Retumbo and load to around 2950-3000 fps.

This. I usually stick to 160 gr bullets in the 7 mags i load for, both because they tend to like them, and the heavier bullets hold together a little better. Deer don't take a lot of bullet, but having one that holds up at 7 RM speeds or similar is important. - dan

Double this. Deer with a 7rm will be killed fast with nearly any load/bullet combo. Wrong bullet, slightly off shot, blood shot will be your meal.

This drills through deer and or 40" of moose 61gr-IMR 4350/160gr Accubond/Fed brass/Fed mag primer...... .439" groups at 100 yards
