[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1575592, member: 108965"] The 160gr and 162gr are provably the best and most versatile bullets for the 7mm Rem Mag. I would go with the 162 SST or ELD-X or a 160gr AB or 168gr ABLR, reliable expansion at close and long distances and with the ELD-X or ABLR you can go to 1,000 yards no problem, thats if you decide to go than long on a hunt or as you mentioned just shoot steel at longer ranges I like the performance of these over the all copper bullets, they expand more reliably and cause a wider wound channel therefore they kill faster. If the all copper bulleta hits at a somewhat slow speed it just doesn't expand as needed unless you hit bone, but if you don't you would cause the animal a a slow death. If you are a hunter that preffers shoulder shots you might be fine with either choice, but I rather stay away from all copper bullets, just a personal choice. Regards LVJ76 [/QUOTE]
