I am using 43.0 grains of IMR 4064, a 120 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip, and a CCI BR primer. The "book" speed is 3050, although I've never chrono'd it out of my short barrelled Model 7 Remington. The recoil is virtually non-existent. I can shoot deer and watch them fall over thru the scope of this...
I shoot a Rem Model 7 in 7mm08. I use 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets loaded with 43.0 gr of IMR 4064 for a "book" velocity of 3050fps. This combination is deer magic for upper peninsula Michigan whitetails, lays 'em down right now, never had one go more than 20 yards and most require a...
A 7mm 120 grain AccuBond would be a real killer bullet for use in lightweight rifes like the model 7 Rem or the Titanium rifles. Light weight to control recoil, 2800-3000 fps, controlled expansion, good weight retention, solid construction for solid hits at close range or long range, you make...
I have used the 120 grain Ballistic tip on Michigan's UP whitetail with GREAT effectiveness. 120 yd shot into the engine compartment tipped over a mature doe right where she stood without even so much as a quiver. A 65yd shot through the shoulders required a 15 yd tracking job. A 15 yd shot...
Another vote for the 120 grain 7mm/.284. I'd like to see a 120 grain partition but this would be a big step in the right direction and allow me to be patient a bit longer till the partition might someday become available.
Can't speak about the 140, but I've had excellent results with 120gr BT in my Remington Model 7 in 7mm08. All one shot kills with deer never going more than 50 ft.; nearly all drop on the spot. Never a complaint about bullet perfromance. Accuracy is terrific, even with the real light barrel the...
I shoot a Rem Model 7: very short and very light. I like the feel of this rifle very much but am also recoil sensitive. I cringed every time I shot the Rem factory 139 gr load in this rifle. My smith recommended shooting the 7mm 120 gr BT and it has been the best shooting experience of my life...
