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.

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

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.
