[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 616082, member: 2736"] Of the two cartriges, I would use the 7 Rem Mag. Lots more energy and better trajectory. I would try to make the 160gr Accubond shoot because it would have the best all round energy and trajectory plus it is a bonded core bullet. The gameking bullets are good bullets but I find them to be inconsistent as far terminal performance because the jackets are not bonded to the core. Look at energies and trajectories of all the loads suggested and it will become obvious to you which would be best. I would base my decision on a delivered energy of 1500 ft/lbs minimum, for maximum distance used.(What is the maximum distance that a particular load and bullet combo reaches a minimum of 1500 ft/lbs) On the issue of seating depth that came up, I believe that seating all hunting ammo .020 shorter than the magazine length ends up being the best plan all round. loads this length can be made very accurate and trouble free. Just my opinion for what it's worth. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
