Optimized 7mm Hunting Bullet

[slm9s]

I've used the Hornady 154 Interbond on several Roosevelt bull elk they've been excellent performers. Its very accurate out of my STW. This a bullet I don't see discussed much.

Have you gotten any kills with them? How did it perform if you did?

180eldm has been great for me, 2 elk and a deer since I started using them. Elk at 800, elk at 380, deer at 400ish. I’ve had tremendous success. Did lose a decent amount of the offside shoulder on the bedded quartering away elk at 380, but he was dead before he knew what happened.
Wound channels and damage were all incredible, but only lost meat the one time. I just try to stay away from big bones

180 Berger hybrid is what I load in a 7 SAUM

Nosler 175 LRAB's have been stellar for us. 12 elk this year with them in 7 saum's from 300 to 812 yards. The 812 yard one was the only one that needed a follow up shot, because of bad hit. Plus we dont get the bloodshot mess that we was getting from the Bergers.

I’ve killed a decent amount with the 180 ELDM. It does well. The 180 Berger hybrid is a killing MF and will probably be my main choice in 7mm moving forward.

Do you clean out the tips of yours? I haven’t in the past but the last 2 animals I shot with the 180 hybrid took more rounds and had less damage than previous ones with the same bullet. Granted they were both further shots but still well within 2k fps impact velocity.

I do run a small drill bit down into the tips of the bullets I intend to hunt with.

Accubond/partition is never a bad choice.
