[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 154357, member: 4683"] Hello and Welcome Distant1 , I have a browning 7mm wsm also -fantastic cartridge !! I haven't used factory ammo in quite a while -longrange hunting and handloading go hand in hand. On factory ammo selection you'd be best served by buying a few different types and seeing which one 'your' gun has a taste for. Any premium bullet will get the job done -be it a nosler ballistic tip or accubond -hornady interbonds -sierra gamekings etc -etc.. The main thing is to know your limits by practicing and from that practice 'know' how far you can place a pinpoint shot on a game animal. I free floated my barrel =barrel not touching stock [important] and touched up the factory bedding job. Back to bullet talk -you can use the ballistic type [plastic tip] bullets just fine on game but at closer ranges do not aim for the shoulder or heavy bone.Shoot the animal behind the shoulder -i have had good luck w/ lower neck shots although some may disagree. At longrange when the ballistic tip has slowed down it is ok to put the crosshair on the shoulder juction then. Well hope this helps and i hope you can get started handloading b/c it is almost a must for longrange hunting. Best of luck -Mike [/QUOTE]
