[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 306958, member: 1403"] I wouldn't hesitate to wack any big buck that walked out to 1K with a 7 RM. Several bullets that could work, 140-150g nbt's, 154-162g sst's, 160g ab, 162g amax, 168g and 180g vld, 175g smk. Any accurate, quick expanding bullet will work on deer, they aren't the hardest animals in the world to kill, especially when they dont even know there being shot at... My longest deer kill ever actually is with my 7 RM, was couple years ago and was right at 800. Hit him behind the shoulders with a 162g amax at 2900fps and he went a little ways and bedded down and was done for. The bullet hit a rib going in and blew up and DID NOT exit. Found pieces of bullet was all. I was aiming for the shoulder, but the wind pushed the bullet a few more inches then I had anticipated, probly a good thing. Anyways, I am not using AMAX's anymore for deer as they are more like a varmint bullet IMO. They just make a mess of things and dont penetrate for crap. Definately not my 1st and only choice for deer out to 1K with a 7 mag thats for sure. [/QUOTE]
