3150 with a 150 gr in 7mm is indeed 7mm rem magnum territory. I would suggest staying in the 2900 fps range with the 280.

If we're including western metrics then add the 7mm-08 and of course the 8mm Rem Mag for me.

Given a sound rifle/optics platform, and reasonable loads I have never walked away from the range without a load that impressed me on my first outing with same.

Thank you. And believe it or not that is the plain Jane Hunter model...... Just got lucky!

Here she is

When I hear metric, I think Europe. I may be wrong on that. I do not know. Anyway for me, it would be a 6.5x55. My Tikka Hunter. Got lucky on the wood and her talents!

Here you go. Plug in your #'s and play all you want. https://bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/ Places like midwayUSA and ofcourse google will provide bullet BC/length etc. Much easier than trying to rehash all the twist stuff on here.

I truly believe that the BT is indeed the greatest Deer/antelope cup and core bullet ever created. BTW if you pick the correct one at the correct starting velocity it will double as a great elk/moose bullet also! 30-06 165 gr at 2850 via H4350

Try Hammer bullets..... That is all I will say on the monometal matter.

Scott: I agree but that is recommended several places on line (I know its on-line) and even on you-tube by people who use them exclusively and some people who work at Berger bullets. Have no idea why.

The first premium ever.

Williams are great and I do love my skinners too. https://skinnersights.com/collections/winchester

^ This!

Gotta love popping pork!

Yes sir! Keep in mind. These are double lung, not shoulder.

They are top notch.

Some gamekings tend to be soft. In my experience Nosler Solid bases are tougher.

Not at all. Funny you would mention that. JD338's spouse joined us for the hunt. She put 2 very nice pigs down. She was using her 7mm-08 with 140 Partitions at 2750-2800 fps or so. We got videos of both shots. Talk about hammers! Behind the shoulder shots.

Welcome! In whitetail country either would work just fine. I would go with the one that yields best accuracy in your rifle. JD338 and I were just in Texas last weekend for a pig hunt. All shots were under 100 yards. He was using his 6.5 WBY RPM with the 140 Solid base bullet at over 3K fps...
