Most killingest 7mm bullet you’ve used?

[huntnful]

Been really liking the 7mm lately. Shooting the big bullets fast and they’re pretty tough to beat ballistically.

I’ve killed big game with 195 EOL, 180 Hybrid, 180 VLD-H, 180 ELDM and 169 Hammer Hunter. They all performed as designed or intended.

Curious what others have used with the most success and maybe even just what else is out there that I potentially don’t even know about.

175 ELDX

Hard to give up the bc from 180 ELDM, but 175 ELDX have killed well for me.

Over the years I've seen more elk fall to 140 and 160gr accubonds than anything. But they are old and boring now. Last few have been eld-x and 165 sierra tgk. Been quite pleased with the sierra tgk actually, so far it has held together better than other cup & core bullets I have tried.
I bought some 180 eld-m to try this year but never got around to working up a load, maybe next season.

I've had good results on everything I've shot with a 180 berger hybrid out of a 20 inch barreled 7 saum. I've got 180 eldms in the reloading room I keep threatening to try but the bergers are accurate and so far very deadly.

I've killed with 180 vld, 140 tsx, 143 hammers, and 195 eol.

175 grain, Hornady interlock, round nose. Been good for over 50 elk

Killed around 15-16 animals (deer, elk, moose, antelope, bear) with a 150 scenar out of the 7 rem mag. Furthest was 623 in a 5 point bull…Scenars are bone crushers…

My next project will be an 8 twist 7 mag of some flavor to shoot 180 scenars

175 ELDX

Hard to give up the bc from 180 ELDM, but 175 ELDX have killed well for me.

That’s a bullet I wouldn’t mind trying for sure. Looks like it’d make a nice sound channel by design. It’s actually longer than the 180 ELDM.

I’ve never looked into the scenars at all actually. Appreciate the info! I’ll have to check them out.

180 VLD hunters by Berger have killed reliably out to 1100 for me

 

[300stw]

175 elite hunters at 3040fps, 37 head big game, last week a bull at 705yds, over 100 coyotes, longest elk 961, closest 190yds,
not one animal has made more then a few steps from impact

I’ve only had experience with the 7mm08 and whitetail. I’ve had go luck with the hornady 139gr interlock and the Barnes 120gr ttsx.

Since you didn't specify cartridge or game. This is what I have to offer.

150tgk in 7-08
180 hybrids in 7prc

Both have been great for me
