7 Rem Mag 150gn Ballistic Tip

[ksubuck]

Just sorting the reloading bench and came across this old bullet. It is one of two ballistic tips that I have ever recovered.

This one was from my 7 Rem Mag, 62.5gn IMR 4350, muzzle velocity 3035 fps. I have taken more than 20 deer with this load. This was a Kansas buck at 125 yards, shot him a little high to spine him so he wouldn't run into the river. The bulled was stuck between 2 shattered vertebrae. Final weight 56.9 grains.

Good catch on the Ballistic Tip. I've used a variety of cup and core bullets in a .280 Rem to take quite a few whitetails and mule deer. I never recovered a bullet from those shots. The distance ranged from about twenty yards to around 225 yards. Even moving at considerably less than they would have been moving from your 7RM, the bullets tended to pass through.

Looks pretty good for bone and a Ballistic Tip out of the 7mm Rem Mag..

I went to the 150 BT, for my 7RM, when Nosler dumped the 162 Solid Base ( I loved those SB's). I just switched bullets and kept everything else the same. I was getting around 3050fps with a healthy charge of H4831.

Deer kept a'dropping very well Thank You !

It's also an outstanding substitute for the 140 AB, unless you're really screaming 'em out of the barrel.
