[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 388490, member: 505"] Out to 500 yards with a 7mm rem mag any of the ones listed will very effectively take out a deer. So I agree the most accurate one is the best. Here is one thought if your hunting is inside 500 yards. You can drive the 110/120 barnes ttsx at super velocities and super flat trajectory out to 500 yards. Virtually point blank range I bet and that bullet will drop any deer dead at that range. You can go lighter with the barnes bullets and still drive them through animals because they retain all their weight. We have not stopped a 100 grain tsx out of a 257 wby yet out to 500 yards up to caribou size critters. At 3780 fps it is basically point blank to 500 yards. Very little trajectory to deal with. I always set up my rifles and loads depending on the situations I anticipate. But when I go to light bullets as in this case always stick with the Barnes ttsx. With the heavier bullets all the ones mentioned should work well. About 25 years ago I shot some animals with the 7mm rem mag and the 139 Hornady btsp. Largest thing I shot with that load was a grizzly at about 450 yards and dropped him on the spot. That shot was with a 7mm wby which is about the same as what you have. Knocked over caribou and deer size stuff with the remington and that bullet. So they all work. [/QUOTE]
