I use the 160gr Nosler Accubond behind Rl22. Second choice is 154gr Hornady
Interbond.

The first question has to be; what twist rate does your rifle have ?


The Reload Bench

"When loaded with a 140 grain spitzer, the 7mm Remington Magnum is a powerful and flat shooting cartridge, but for all use on game up to the size of elk and moose the cartridge is seen at its best with a 160 grain bullet loaded to about 3000 fps. For big game loads, the single best powder for use with all bullets weights is H4831. When loading the heavier bullets, H1000 also does a fine job. In target rifles, faster burning powders such as H4350 and IMR-4350 often produce the best accuracy with match grade bullets."

Gunners Den

Because of the velocity range, quirky nature of .284 diameter bullets in that velocity range and the 7mm Rem Mag barrel concerning bullet performance with various twist rates by various rifle manufacturers, here is a barrel and bullet guide:
1 in 9" Twist Rate: 160 - 175 grain bullets, barrel length 26" for maximum performance on large game such as moose and big bears.
1 in 9 1/2" Twist Rate: 140 - 160 grain bullets, barrel length 24" for maximum performance on big game such as antelope, deer, elk, moose and big bears.
1 in 10" Twist Rate: 115 - 140 grain bullets, barrel length 24" for maximum performance on varmints, predators, antelope, deer and elk.

Yotes to elk? Fur friendly on yotes? How far did you track that elk?

If it was more accurate in the 160 gr Sierra, why did you switch to a less accurate 139 grain? Probably trying to save that fur on the yote? WTF? LMFAO!!:rolleye0011:

I have owned and hunted deer and elk with a Ruger M77 bolt rifle in 7mm mag. I bought the rifle in the early 80's. First off, they are an excellent shooting, flat shooting, hard hitting rifle. I always shot the Winchester Super X 150 grain cartridges and they just knock critters flat. A friend also gave me some reloads and he used Nosler Bullets. I am not sure what powder. But he made them for me when I went elk hunting. The elk I shot at about 80-90 yards. The elk shuddered, took two steps and just laid down like it was going to bed down.. And never moved again. The guide was even impressed with the internal damage that Nosler did. But for all the other hunting I used the Winchester Super X and took deer out past 500 yards with the rifle.

I will not swear to it because I can not remember.. but I recollect the Nosler was a 165 grain. Does that sound right?

I like the 160 to 165 gr. pointed soft point bullest.

I have had the best luck from my Remington 700 BDL 7mm RM using 150g Nosler Ballistic Tips pushed by 62g of H4350...but it also likes H4831.

I shoot 150gr nosler partitions with 62grains of IMR 4831 and keep under a MOA at 100 yards. Have killed numerous whitetails and 1 bull elk with this load and it is devastating.

I shhot 140gr win silver tips in mine and for deer size game its going to get the job DONE!!!

Like said if I was going to hunt big game like elk id prob step it up to the 160 or 175 gr

I shoot 150gr NBT's for deer. For larger then deer 140 barnes TSX (shot several elk and moose with this load all 1 shot down right away kills) My rifle and I are pretty fond of a 154gr Hornady Interbond load I stumbled upon...it is my combo load in my rem mag. I used last year on both whitetail and a bull elk, performed excellent.

I use a 150 grain Ballistic tip made by Winchester. It has put anything down I have ever shot. No need for a double tap. Lol😄😄😄
