It's a little late... I've already bought 100 Nosler Accu Bonds and 50 Nosler Part in 140gr... I've read that the 140gr out of the 7mm Mag was a no brainer...
Was the 140gr bullet a good choice???

When I shot the 7 Mag,(Had five of them) I shot mostly the 140 Nosler BT bullets. The very early ones were a bit fragil but the ones now are quite dependable IMO. For boiler room shots I would use them for any NA game. This would hold true for the 280,7X57 and 7MM-08 as well.

3of the last4 whitetails I've shot were with 140 BT's. One was at 200 yards, the other 2 at 325 to 330yards.2 dropped in their tracks, the other ran about 30 yards with a 3" exit wound (hit a couple of ribs and the liver). I think the Accubond's should hold together and perform as well or better than the BT's.
BTW, a friend of mine shot a large cow elk at 200 yards with a 140 BT a few years ago. Bullet hit in the boiler room and passed all the way through. Dropped her right there.

I've used both 140's and 150 gr. bullets in my loads. It's a toss up for me which have been better. What ever bullet I use I like to stick to the BT design. I've had much success with both Noslar and Sierra.
