[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 515535, member: 10444"] 7mmFan, What does your rifle like now? You said you reload now correct. 7mm bullets cover a fair sized range, but really all will handle any deer to 500 yards, including 120's. If you have a load that works and is 1-1.2 moa to 500 yards, instead of changing too much you might use what you know and start to practice. I too shoot a 7mmRM and have had good luck on deer/elk with both the 168 berger and 160 accubond. Powders include 4350 on fast end and Retumbe/H1000/7826 on slow end and everything in between. Bergers do like slower powder in the heavier 168. I doubt your rifle will stabilize the heavier 180 bergers, unless it's custom. Good luck with your tag. [/QUOTE]
