What bullet would y'all suggest shooting in a 7rem mag if whitetail is my primarily game animal that I will be hunting ? I will be hand loading for this gun. Thanks!
Load the Berger VLD and you're golden to 1KY.What bullet would y'all suggest shooting in a 7rem mag if whitetail is my primarily game animal that I will be hunting ? I will be hand loading for this gun. Thanks!
Correct more details, better shape the choice.Load the Berger VLD and you're golden to 1KY.
My load recommendation was for antelope, deer, elk size game up to 1KY. Why have different loads for 3 wild games when you can have one to accomplish all 3. My hunting buddy uses the 180 Berger in his 7MM RM and I use 215 Berger in my .300 WSM on whitetails without any issues. For me, that's efficiency.Correct more details, better shape the choice.
Smaller deer, half that distance, absent the other long range tools necessary for 1K, and I'd go with the 120 Hammer Hunter.
Could easily live with any of the VLD's for whitetail.
Certainly merit there. I wouldn't expect any issues, we mostly use .338 RUMS etc for similar reasoning.My load recommendation was for antelope, deer, elk size game up to 1KY.

"I" would rather have a LRH range load capability and don't need it than the other way around.Certainly merit there. I wouldn't expect any issues, we mostly use .338 RUMS etc for similar reasoning.
The specificity of the question regarding whitetails, led me to a lighter faster choice.
I also must have transposed a range limitation from another post.
It is LRH and we're both here for that!"I" would rather have a LRH range load capability and don't need it than the other way around.
Believe me, I know the feeling but I am not quite ready to give up yet.It is LRH and we're both here for that!
It does come in increments over our hunting life, and recedes as well.
I'd need help getting a 100 yard target hung presently, much less following up a long range shot! LOL! Probably tempers my view a bit.
