I've been shooting the 7mm Mag since 1977.There was nota lot of choice back then. Just Remington core locks and Winchester silver tips. When the new stuff started coming out I just had to try them but in the end, for deer, the less expensive oldfashion 150gn Winchestersilver tips killed them just as fast and just as dead as the premium stuff and my Remington 700 BDL shot them well.
