[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2350573, member: 313"] I've taken quite a few whitetails with the (then) 162gr A-Max from a 7STW. Shots to the shoulder resulted in DRT game. Shots behind the shoulder either dropped them or they'd run 30yds max. I'd expect similar results from your 7mm mag. Hornady still makes the bullet but rebranded it when the heat resistant tip was added to their line. (ELD-M) These bullets are fairly inexpensive, very accurate and kill deer like lightening. And if you are concerned about using a "target" bullet; the older Hornady manuals recommended this bullet for hunting thin skinned big game. Maybe they were ahead of their time. [/QUOTE]
