160's in 7 mm shot very nice in a 7 rem mag.

I never had problems when I shot them. I still half half a box for my 300WM but now I use the Accubonds. I still liked the Failsafes-on elk and mosse, but they sometimes didnt open up on deer. The new Winchester Supreme Elite XP3 ammo should be a great bullet-combination of the Accubond and Failsafe.

Anybody load them as components? A buddy has run out of the 160 7MM RM load, and moose season starts in a couple of days. I've got 50 component bullets, and a jug of H 4831SC. I'm looking for the factory loaded length. I'm thinking start at 62grs. and work up to 64.5gr.? Help- time's a wastin'

I just used them to sight in my hunting buddy's 300WM a couple of weeks ago. I got close to 5/8" groups. Its all I had for factory ammo left after I shot Partition Golds thru his rifle.

whats the point of using them, they're about to be discontinued

They will just bring out another wonder bullet maybe an xp3msxtsx, and it'll drop animals even if you wing'em, they are dropping that bullet just like Barnes dropped the x-bullet, because after all the hoopla, they didn't shoot good, some didn't expand, they just zipped right on through. They wouldn't drop a product that worked good....its just that the gig was up!

I'm all for settling on the 160 TSX. The problem is getting into a non reloader's head and explaining the ins and outs of bullet selection.
