What grain bullet does everyone use?
 

I was wondering what grain and what kind of bullet everyone perfers to use in there 7mm remington mag.

I got rid of all my 7MM Mags but I used the 140 grain bullets for deer and the 175 grain for moose and big bears.

my dad has been shooting 160gr accubonds for everything. SHoot good, absolute hammer for whitetails.

The 139 gr. Hornady's work well for deer!

154gr. hornady spire point

I’ve used 160 gr. for my 7 mm Rem. Mag for years but now it’s 140 gr. for my 7mm-08.

The real value of the 7MM Mag is with the heavy bullets. Much less cartridges throw the 139ers easily. The 7MM Mag should use the 160-175 grain bullets.

That said a lot of folks use it for it's speed and the 139-154 grain bullets also work. If I was to use those I'd far prefer the 7-08.

I have 2 guns, one gets 140 B/T's and the other gets 160 Accubonds. I didnt plan on it happening that way, I just let the gun tell me what it likes. My Savage has always shot the 160's better, and my Ruger has seemed to always like the 140's.

I use only 140gr bullets but change the bullet construction to match the game.

I always use the tried and true 170gr rounds for my 30-30. For some reason, my Marlin doesn't care for the 150gr rounds.... go figure.

Well, I prefer the 175-grain Nosler Partition in mine. It has great penetration for heavy game, yet lower velocity, so it destroys less meat on lighter stuff like deer. In addition, my Ruger No. 1B shoots 175-grain bullets into 1" at 200 yards.

I know a lot of people say "if you're losing too much meat with the lighter bullets,it's because you are shooting them in the wrong place!" True! BUT, a deer doesn't always pose for you broadside with no obstructions in the way so that you can shoot them straight throughthe ribs just behind the shoulders every time!! The uncooperative varmints!!

The only 7 Rem Mag I have owned shot really well with the 160 Sierra Gameking, and killed game pretty well too. I would stay away from shoulder shots on elk . . . . had a bad experience with this once; but otherwise it was a very effective at putting meat on the pole.

I always liked the 150 NP's for all around hunting in a 7 mag., untill you get to moose and big bears, then i switched to 175 NP's.

In my test, those 175 NP's would out penetratemost of the bigger bore expanding bullets (like 458's and 375's) and that's why they work so well on big bears. They will really break them down!
