7mm Remington Mag & 160 Accubonds

[357cyrus]

Just finished loading up some more of my go-to big game rounds. Right now I use it for Pennsylvania deer and black bear on days that favor sitting on stand where shots could be long. Out of the muzzle it launches at 2940fps and 3070ft/lbs. The powder charge is just a touch shy of what Nosler recommends as maximum for the 7mmRM and their bullet with Reloader 19. This load for me however delivers 5 shots under an inch every time off the bench, and the long sleek 160 Accubond really holds onto its energy with a B.C. of .531.

Very nice shooting!

Very impressive. I guess these hold together and don't explode like the ballistic tips do. 7mm is about the best modern compromise on effective bullet size. Mine are 7 x 30 waters and 7 tcu, slightly under the performance of your workhorse. 130 grain my tops and ballistic tips helpful.
