Let’s talk bullets

Whichever is most accurate and legal where I’m hunting. Put in the right place, it just doesn’t matter much.

Hey All,

Current rifle setup for reference:
7mm WSM, 168gr Berger Classic Hunter at 2850, max intended range of 600 yds

So I was hoping to get some dialogue from people with more experience than me on this. I watched two elk go down to 300 win mags in the last week. Both were shooting very different bullets. There was a 250 yard shot with a 180gr TTSX, it performed as designed/expected (see below). There was also a 150 yard shot with a 185gr Berger Hybrid Hunter, the bullet basically exploded a couple inches in, so maybe that is expected. I shot my bull at 325yds with the rifle above...

Made this post a while back. Thought it may help ya.

I run a 168 VLD in a 7 SAUM now. I’ve had great results on the handful of animals I’ve taken with them.
