[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2813798, member: 29323"] I used the old 160 Barnes X bullet in my 7RM. Never had to shoot twice on elk, oryx, or aoudad. I would use AMax bullets to sight in because they were less expensive and more accurate than the Barnes. Never knew to try them on game. I now shoot a 7mm WSM. I use 168 gr. Berger VLDs, because they are the most accurate in my rifle. I like heavier bullets because the extra weight ensures more penetration. I've used them on everything form javelina to elk with great results. I load them light (2850 fps) to mitigate recoil in my 5-1/2 lb. rifle. In my really light TC Contender, I used the Barnes 120 TTSX at about 2400 fps in a 7-30 Waters for aoudad. Four one shot kills. Longest shot 230 yards. Nowadays, I load the bullets I can find, and buy several hundred when I do find them. [/QUOTE]
