Several of us have tried various bullets in 7 mags (of various size) and I think anything from the 150 Scirocco II, 150 E Tip, 154 Hornady IB, 160 Accubond, 160 Partition, 175 Partition, etc would be great choices. Hard to go wrong with any of them. Probably also good with the 175 ABLR and...
Today was a tough day, a young man that chose to serve his country passed away and we had his memorial service.
