[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1659823, member: 33159"] The 7 mm 143’s should be fine. I shoot those and the 177 gr in my 7 STW. Put a new barrel on it a little over a year ago and went to a 1:8 twist so I could shoot the 177’s. The 143’s were awesome in the old factory barrel that was either a 1:9.5 or 9.25 like yours. Push them fast and they’ll be nothing but devastating on any game animal. There’s a guy on here that loads the 143gr in his 7 RUM and he destroyed an elk at 800 yards with that bullet. Nothing goes far that gets hit with these bullets. Doesn’t matter if bone is in the way or not. Those front petals shear off into destructive shrapnel and the rest of the core keeps going through. I put a 213 gr in my 338 Lapua through both shoulders on a mountain goat. About 1.5” exit would. He didn’t go 5 yards. Hammers are my exclusive hunting bullet now. Wish I would have found them sooner. [/QUOTE]
