[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 231110, member: 10214"] For 500yds and less the extra velocity of 140gr bullets would be better for your ballistics than the heavy high BC bullets. Bergers usually have the best BC for their weight (among the larger bullet companies) and will likely shoot flatter. The Bergers function well for hunting, but can be picky about seating depth. I have the 7WSM (very simular to yours) and I use the 168 vld's seated about .010" into the lands and they shoot great! My dad uses the 140gr Nosler Accu Bonds and they work great for him in his 280 and 7wsm out to 450yds on game. [/QUOTE]
