[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2129531, member: 10755"] That’s my thoughts too, but I think a 140gr is still a bit lightweight. I have never had good success with fast cartridges and light bullets...leaves me with little confidence. Big magnums are designed to push heavy bullets fast. This is their advantage. In my own 7STW, I am running 168gr bullets for everything. As soon as I get my order of 175gr ABLR and 180gr Berger that’s what I’ll use in NZ in September this year. If they don’t arrive by then, I’m gonna use the 168gr ABLR. Going for Red deer and Elk over there. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
