What is the best bullet for model 710 7mm Remington magnum?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are using it for. Target? Hunting? If it is for hunting, what are you hunting? For Mule Deer I like the Barnes Triple shock as it doesn't blow up the deer like other bullets do. In fact I shot a deer last year and it had little meat damage at all. The deer dropped where it was shot at about 100 yards. I believe it works so good because it doesn't have any lead and retains virtually 100% of its weight so it doesn't fragment and send shards of lead and bone throughout. I had been trying to find the best bullet for the 7mm Rem Mag for years for deer as I had destroyed plenty of meat, escpecially on doe. I had used the Winchester fail safe (could have been ballistic tip) but it didn't seem to work very well. I don't know if it even expanded in the deer. It may have been good for doe. I shot the buck at about 75 yards in the hind quarters (oops) then I tracked him and flushed him about 10 yards from me, shot him in the chest, he fell down, got up, I shot him in the chest again, he fell down and seemed like he was still trying to stand up. My magazine was empty at that time so I pulled the .357 mag off my side and finished him off with a shot to the neck. For elk, a heavier bullet will work better, but I haven't used the barnes but I would venture that the same bullet would work as well. Just don't use heavy bullets with antelope or deer unless they are Barnes Triple Shock, you will put a hole in them big enough to stick two fists through! Hope this helps.
