[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1686065, member: 108965"] A 140 or a 154gr bullet bullet out of my 7mm Rem Mag out to 500 yds work just perfectly fine, but for 700 or 800 a 162gr or heavier would work best. Now most monolithic bullets retain their their original weight unlike cup and core which can shed 50% of their weight or even more in some cases depending on the design. In order to get adequate penetration a bullet needs weight, if it losses it too quickly it can cause a shalow wound that in turn can cause a slow death or even a lost animal. With monilithics you don't have to worry about that so don't need as much weight on the bullet but you do need high speed to cause bullet expansion, so lighter bullets than can go fast are required [/QUOTE]
