7mm rum and 140-150 gr bullets

I will begin working on my bud's 7mm rum (rem BDL 700). He wants to work up the ultimate long range antelope/deer load. Fast and flat shooting as hell! So what has worked for you guys? I have only worked with the 160 AB's in mine.
Accuracy? velocity? thanx guys.

I had a hard time finding a accurate 160 accubond load for my STW, but had no problems with several 140gr. I was beginning to think the sako wasn't capable of shooting 160's good.

Grab the 120 gr Lazzeroni Lazerhead from Midwayusa.com. It is a coated solid copper triple shock Barnes X bullet. Try reloader 22. Let me know how much powder you end up with but it should makeeasy 3900 fps.

Shoot a Lazer not a rainbow!
