The 140 grain Berger hunting bullet is better suited for 7-30 waters or down loaded 7-08 velocities. At the 3000 + fps they would be doing out of your 7mm rem mag they will splatter on impact. If you do your part and shoot behind the shoulder into the ribs only, the kills will be quick and spectacular. Take a quartering to you shot into the shoulder and you will be following up a 3 legged deer. If you are watching the T.V. show that says they are the worlds greatest bullets watch closer on the specs of the gear they are using. Most often in 7mm mag they are shooting 180 vld's at around 2800 fps then let them get out 800 yards and you would be lucky if they are still at 2000 fps, most likely at around 1700 fps. I have put 165 grain hunting vld's into a coyote sitting facing me like a dog at around 3300 fps from a 300 rum and it never exited. Shot one into a nice whitetails shoulder at 80 yards and it made a hole the size of an ice cream pail bottom but never broke the scapula. The first animal I took with a Berger was a nice bull elk that was going up a steep wall across a valley from me. The bullet hit him right between the shoulders in the spine. He dropped instantly and never even gave a kick, something I had only seen once before on an elk. By the end of that hunting season the Bergers were retired to coyote duty.
