Just got a new 7 rem mag and was wondering what would be a good bullet to use out of it. I am pretty much set on Federal Premium in either the Trophy Bonded Bear claws, Partition, Ballistic Tips, or the Barnes XLC(if can find), but open to other suggestions. I cannot decide which to get. I do not reload and need to use factory. These would be used on Michigan whitetail. The rifle is a Savage 111 w/24" barrell.
Thanks.

sd I sure am awfully partial to 140 Failsafe Win Supreme in my 7mag. And that comes after over a decade of handloading my 7. For me they group well and kill like absolute lightning. Essentially the bullet is a copy of the Barnes X bullet. The Fed Prem 150 Nosler Part is likewise a superkiller for deer as well.
Check em out, I think you will be pleased!

All will work fine & agree find the one that shoots best. Personally for deer and my 7 rem mag I like Ballistic Tips in 140-150 gr versions, they have always shot the best and performed well on game in my experience through a variety of calibers.
Good Luck

I have always used Fed. Premiums 165 gr. BTSP and had great results. I' m gonna try reloading though, I put on a new scope and am told the results will be much beter with reloads. I' m trying 162 gr. Hornady SST' s. JDinAB
