150 gr bullet in 7mm

[Humpy73]

Anybody have good accuracy loads for a 7mag with 150 grain bullets? I have a Browning X bolt speed with a 9 1/2 twist.

I am using 150g Ballistic Tips in both my 7-08 and 7STW, don't have a 7RM, but these bullets are very accurate in both.
I would suggest a load with H1000 for those in a 7RM, have loaded for them, just don't own one.

Cheers.

I have had excellent groups with both 150 Barnes TTSX & Swift Scirocco II 150 in my 1:9 twist Mesa using H4350. IMR7828SSC worked also - but better velocity with H4350.

154 sst is an absolute hammer on whitetails

150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip is my favorite deer bullet out of my 7mag.They are accurate too.

I used to shoot the 150ge ballistic tip; however, I was having issues with the bullet detonating on the surface at that speed if I didn't judge the correct angle. The 154 sst solved that for me and my son. Between the two of us, since starting to shoot this load, have shot 8 PA bucks under 120 yds, and one has yet to take a step. Not one.

Now even better, lol, is the 139 Hornady interlock boat tail. I shoot them in my 280 at 2900 and I have shot over 70 PA deer with this load since I bought the gun in 1994 (Browning ABolt). The furthest was 300 yds. And nearly every single one has died in 10 yds. That bullet at that speed is the perfect combination of speed/ power and this is my go to rifle and will be to the grave.

The old 150 gr Ballistic Tips were horrible.The newer ones are much better. Basically a non-bonded Accubond.

Course keep in mind that the "old ones" was about 1987 or so...........

I have shot an ark or two full of game with Big 7's and the 150 NBT. 7828, R25 are both very good with it as is H4831.

I'd start with 7828SS

That's a around the time I was trying them. Late 80s early 90s.

Wish I could help but I have been running 140bts in my Browning Hells canyon

The old BT version needed to be placed a little more carefully, no different than these modern day heavy -for- caliber varmint grenades with an ultra high B.C.

In the lungs, behind the shoulder meant quick death for deer and pigs.

I like the BT Hunting better, and Accubond because I normally shoot halfway up the shoulder.

What is the difference between the Ballistic Tip® and the AccuBond®?
Externally, they look the same except for the tip colors, Ballistic Tip® bullets are color-coded by caliber while all AccuBond® bullets have white tips. Internally the Ballistic Tip® is not bonded and is designed for controlled expansion on medium game with approximately 50-60% weight retention. Conversely, the lead alloy core of the AccuBond® is bonded to the jacket. This bonding increases weight retention (65-70%) and slows expansion resulting in deeper penetration and enhanced bone-breaking potential in larger animals.
Unfortunately,the older ones look just like the newer ones externally, and some are still floating around.It took me 20yrs to go back to Ballistic Tips after bad experiences with earlier versions.All the new ones are great bullets.
