7mm mag bullet help

[camolife84]

I am just starting to reload and have bought h1000 powder. With everything I've read people suggest accubonds and Barnes ttsx. I'm hoping to get some guidance on good all around deer round. I'm hopefully going to go coues deer hunting and need to have some long range performance. All help is appreciated as I am brand new to reloading.

What is your barrel twist?

 

[Zdub02]

Both bullets would be great options for deer sized game. Good luck finding accubonds right now though. I've shot both bullets and they have great performance and accuracy. Deer sized game shouldn't require a very tough bullet. Find what your gun likes and shoot it.

I shoot these in my 28 Nosler , might try them -

WTS - 7mm Nosler 160gr partitions

Bullet change for new rifle. Selling off 10 bags of 50 nosler partitions 7mm 160gr. These are brand new blems with cannelure. $45 per bag net to me minimum order of two bags. Buy 6 or more bags and I’ll do $40 per bag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pick one and try this:

Painless load development (mine)

I have had multiple people ask me to lay out how I do load development being that what I do is different. Since Shaen @Shooter71 just rebarreled a Tikka 595 in 6XC I thought it would be easy to show how I do it. It’s a Master Sporter with a T3 lite profiled 20” barrel- keep in mind it is a T3...

Barrel twist is 1:9.5 thanks for the responses so far

all around deer bullet try the 140 gr accubond. great bullet. If ranges are on the long side or you would like to see more/bigger wound channels 140 gr ballistic tips. 140 gr sierra gamekings also

I would go with the GKs for coues deer. I like ABs a lot too but there is no need to spend double for premium bullets like ABs in that application and GKs shoot terrific. Sierra has recently gotten some of their 165 gr tipped GKs out the door but they are all gone now it seems. Maybe the production run is still ongoing and they will be available again soon.

I would go with the hammer hunter bullets in 131 gr or 143’s h4350 will get the 131’s at 3500 fps.

165 sierra tipped gamekings would be awesome for deer in the 7 rem mag. Have had excellent performance out of the 150’s on deer/coyote sized game in my 7-08 and the 165’s just came back in stock after 3 years.

162 eldm, awesome combo with h1000 in 9.5 twist

 

[DiabeticKripple]

145 LRX, i wouldnt even look at the TTSX if you were handloading. The LRX is an update to the TTSX.

You can kill anything in North America with a 145 LRX.

Not sure what elevation you will be hunting at but if you are at a little higher elevation Id go with a 175 EH

 

[Super tag]

A lot of answers here- I really like the 168 VLD it performs well and is easily the most accurate bullet in my rifle.

What does “long range” mean to you?

140 or 160gr. nosler partitions.
I buy blems and have not had any issues with them in accuracy in my hunting loads.

I'd say 500-700 is a possibility

Take a hard look at the 162 eldx. That’s what we use in our 7mm Rem Mags. Great ballistic coefficient and on-game performance. I have no experience with the monos but from what I’ve read they like to be driven fast. Check velocity past 500 yards, they might be on the low end of the velocity performance window.

I had good luck with H1000 and noslers 160 grain Accubond and Partition, neither are necessary for small whitetails and may prove a little tough beyond 400 or 500 yards. I'd have to give the 160 Ballistic Tips a try, the 140 and 150s have shot identical to their accubond.
Starting from zero the 162 eld either one would merit consideration.

I found a few boxes of 140g Accubonds at sportsman's warehouse a few weeks ago on the shelf. No prices on them. Grabbed 2 and a pound of 4831sc (no price on that either. With sales tax it was $200 bucks. I reluctantly crapped myself, but paid it. It's available, but be prepared for the violation. Great bullets though and will work well for you.
