What bullets for 7mag?

[BLUEBULLS]

I'm definitely not an expert on reloading. Maybe I do need to check some different powder charges, type, primers etc.

does aybody have any information on what kind of velocities I would be shooting with the above mentioned load?

I had some good loads worked up years ago and I've lost my notes. I know they averaged 3040fps and only had like a 25fps spread. I was using the same powder but I'm not sure on the bullets or primers.

Yesterday I had the chance to try my Nosler 160 gr AccuBond hand loads on an elk I called in. Not a big rack 4x4 but big bodied. 100yds shot facing me, went in in front of the left shoulder and out behind the right shoulder, he went about 20yds and went down. The lungs were mush and no bullets fragments, only blood shot meat was on the off side and wasn't bad at all.

Cutting up my elk yesterday I found my bullet in the elks heart. I thought it went out the other side but it didn't. 160gr AccuBoud it's 122.7 now. I'll post some pictures of the bullet.

Its all personal preferance. I shoot a 7mm mag, Dumoulin,pre 64 Remington. I hand load 61 gr. imr4831 with a 160 gr triple shock, have also used the grand slam but they have issues when striking bone. Ever gun handles load different from the next so its kind of trial and error... Good luck!

shot a few different charges this weekend.

accuracy was good with all.

66gr h4831 cci200 primer 160gr speer boattail - 2991fps
62gr imr4831 cci250 primer 160gr speer boattail - 2951fps
60gr imr4831 cci250 primer 160gr speer boattail - 2780fps

2991 sounds good to me so I'm done for the year.

All I used in my 7mag in the 80's and 90's was the 160gr speer boatail, killed a bunch of deer and elk in WA and Or. A few whitetail in Mt and Id, piles of yotes, and ground squirrels, and one black bear. With the history I've had using the speer Bt, I don't know why I'm not still loading them. I almost forgot the two bulls in Co and the Wy. speed goat that fell to the Speers. I've defiantly killed more critters with the 160gr speer Boatails then any other bullet.
IMO the speer BT is the best non premium bullet out there in the 7mag.
