Ok Danny, my hornady manual says for a 154gr bullet fired from 7mm RemMag, with IMR4831

Starting: 54.8gr 2600fps
Max: 59.1gr 2800fps

Pretty weak load if you ask me, but kills deer dead I would imagine. Everybody has ideas of what a certain caliber will do, and if it was me I would expect at least 2900fps for a 154gr-160gr bullet. I would expect over 3050 for 140gr bullet. Which most of my friends can get MOssyoak on here shoots 67gr of RL22 with 140gr BT and gets 3100fps.

I myself would look into Reloader 25 Or RL22 with that bullet. I have always had good luck with RL22 out of 7mm mags.
For RL25
Starting: 63.1gr 2600fps
Max: 71.3gr 3000fps

For RL22
Starting: 56.6gr 2600fps
Max: 63.4gr 2900fps
