Default RE: What bullet for the 7mm Ultra Mag.

140 TSX if you want a bullet for everything.

If you REALLY wanna trick it out, order some 120 Lazerheads (tweaked TSX') from Lazzeroni. They can be stoked up in your UM and son you will wonder if you have died and gone to heaven? You dont have to worry about what size exit hole they leave either, I've been shooting 130 Xs and now 150 Lazerheads from my Warbird for a couple of seasons and I have yet to see ANYTHING that will stop them, whether its a chestshot at 45 yds or a lenghtwise "texas heartshot" at over 400. The Barnes' simply won't stay in the animals when driven too extreme (over 3500fps) velocities. And even when I drove the 130s too nearly 4000fps, I NEVER had so much as a hint of bullet blowup. They simply stay together and you would be surprised how little meat damage you get.

If you deadcenter a shoulder ball then you will get alot of bone fragment, but I have yet to have the first piece of bruised meat in over 50 animals (whitetails, a muley and a antelope). I have buddies that shoot Warbirds and a couple of Firebirds also. Like rockheads they are hellbent on the partitions vs the Lazerheads/TSX'. Some of the wounds they get on deer are gruesome! [:'(] theres just no need for that kind of damage when its un-necessary!

GOOD luck and let us know what happens,
RA

ps
Don't get me wrong, the Accubonds are a GREAT bullet. I just don't think they are the bullet for supermags. Even they will come apart with heavy shots at close range with extreme velocity.
