[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1641158, member: 108965"] 7mm 120gr Ballistic Tip, 139gr SST, 140gr Ballistic Tip and Ballistic Silvertips, with these bullets I am good out to 500 yds, with these soft bullets I preffer impacts between 2,700 and 1,800 fps. I do not Recommend use at magnum velocities, it will blow up on impact under 200 yds. Good for deer sized game. I got the mulie on my avatar at 100yds with the 139gr SST with an impact velocity around 2,700 fps, it dropped on impact, the lungs looked like jello and left a 2" exit hole. My wife got her first mulie at 350yds with the 140gr Ballistic Silvertip, dropped about 10 yards after impact, impact velocity around 2,200 fps, also left a nice exit hole with the lungs destroyed. 7mm 140gr Accubond or 139gr Interbond, I prefer an impact velocity above 2,000 fps to ensure proper bullet expansion, so keep the shot at under 400yds. At magnun velocities out to 600 yds no problem. These will work great on elk and moose. 150gr Ballistic Tip and 154gr SST, ideal impact velocities are around 2,200 to 2,500 fps, great bullet expansion around this velocities. I've gotten a couple of coues and Javelina with these and they did not know what hit them. 7mm 162gr SST and Amax, the ideal impact velocity on these bullets would be between 1,800 and 2,500, they are more of a long range bullet. I've taken several desert mulies under 100yds with the 160gr partition, impact velocities are around 2,500 I dont shoot past 500m and I have a large inventory of older 7mm bullets so I have not tried most of the new bullets like the ELD o VLD, and really don't have a need for them right now.
