[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 183402, member: 8"] Depending on when it was built, the prevailing twist could have been 9.5 -1. In a 7 Wby you should achieve very good accuracy with the 160 class bullets. The good ones have been mentioned - 160-168 grains. I doubt the 180 would be a good choice but you can try it. The 160 Accubonds will tolerate very close range shots without blowing up. The last deer I killed in the Paw Paw Bends was with a 28 inch Shilen 9.5 twist 7 Wby and 160 Accubonds at a range of 50 yards. Not a lot of meat damage for such close range. Has a decent BC but because of the tough jacket and long bearing surface it is may not get you as much muzzle velocity as some of the softer bullets. But the softer bullets leave me unhappy with the amount of excessive damage they produce. [/QUOTE]
