7mm ultra mag bullet choices.

[oldfamily]

Picked up a 700 bdl in 7mm Remington ultra mag, had 1 box of shells thru it and got it worth the money. Question is what would be a good bullet to use both factory, since have to buy factory rounds to get brass and what are people having luck with reloading for this round?

Could try the barnes vortex ammunition 180gr TTSX. As far as reloading you could use a 210 or 215gr Berger.

7mm rum, not 300rum

keep it at 140 bonded or heavier.

I'm loading my 7rum with 168's and 175/180 grain bullets
these rifles don't turn on with 120's and 130's at all. I've ditched all my lightweight loadings for my 7rum.

Pretty good advice. Even at 7mm STW velocities bullets get very frangible if they are not a true bonded core or cannelure type.

I'd suggest looking at the 160 Accubonds, 175 Accubond LR's or the 180 Berger.

When I had the same rifle I used 154SST and 154IB for sub MOA accuracy.

Good luck

Interbonds have never let me down either.
