Favourite hunting bullet for the 7mm Magnums?

[chuck nelson]

Those of you running 7mm magnums of any flavour to hunt with. What is your favourite bullet and weight?

 

[Slimbo]

Not a magnum but in my 280 ackley I love the 160 accubond. I don’t see why I would change that choice given an extra couple hundred FPS.

140 ttsx

Just got my 7 mag last week.
Thinking 150 ttsx been shooting 162 eldx at the range so far.

 

[Kelly Timoffee]

150gr SC II , but it should be used in every chambering.

Bullets without equal.

I prefer heavy cup and cores. 175gr interlock in my 7x64 and 7x57. In my 7x61 S&H I prefer 175 partitions or 160 accubonds.

My brother uses bonded 175gr in his rem mag.

I like the 160gr Nosler Partitions in my 7mm Rem Mag

160 Partitions/160 Accubonds. Both work great. Try Reloder 22/23/25/26 or IMR 7828. Dave.

When I used to hunt with a 7RM I used lots of different bullets like 175gr Partitions, Ballistic Tips, 160gr Original X bullet (those penetrated like hell, easily smashing giant holes though both shoulders of big animals) I ended up with the 140gr TSX bullet though.

Today I would look at the 145 or 168gr LRX

I use 150 partitions. Love how they put down game.

 

[G.E.FLACH]

160 Nosler accubonds no doubt.I have shot dozens of game with it close and far.It functioned flawlessly.Try it you like it !R26 or R22 worked in the 7 mag for me .

154 or 175 Interlock will kill anything, and they are very accurate.

I like the 160gr Nosler Partitions in my 7mm Rem Mag

 

[chappy]

i have been using 139 hornady monos. so far very effective.

My 7mm “mag” experience is STW, Rem, 7/300 and 28 Nosler.

Its hard to pick a favorite without saying “It depends”. General big game I’d say 160 Accubond first choice with a 150 Ballistic Tip close behind with the caveat of mule/reds on down. Long range specific I’m more at a toss up between the 180 VLD and 168 ABLR with the second perhaps starting to pull ahead. The 195 EOL is showing a lot of potential on animals bigger than goats and cartridges bigger than the 7 Rem.

Just about anything other than a TSX though. Took a couple hundred game shots this week in NZ.

160g Nosler AB

 

[SuperCub]

I like the 160gr Nosler Partitions in my 7mm Rem Mag

That's what I have lined up for my 280 but have not shot any game with them.

 

[hoytcanon]

I like the 160 AB in 7 RM, 150 Partition in 7X64.

I'm using the 140 gr. Nosler Accubond in the 7mm Rem. Mag. and my son is using the 150 gr. Ballistic Tip in his 7mm STW. Both bullets are most effective, from whitetails to bull moose.
