Default 7MM Rem Mag bullets

I asked this question on the guns forum but then thought this is a better place to ask.

What bullets would you recommend I use to hunt caribou using a 7MM Rem Mag?

Many think that the 160 grain bullets are better suited to Game bigger than deer. However the 140 is plenty of bullet and probably the best choice for all game in the 7MM Mag. If I were loading for that trip I would load the 140 grain Nosler partition. You just couldn't do better IMO.

I have used the140gr partition on deer, moose and elk and it works great on all of these species.

I usually find a load for each gun I have then stick to it. I like 160's in my 7mm mag ( don't tell Stubblejumper) But really any bullet of good construction is most important though.

I would try a Hornady 154 gr. InterBond, or Nosler 160 gr. AccuBond. Good luck.

I have been loading the Barnes 160 gr XLC bullet and they work very well on elk . I would have no problem with using them on caribou .
