Best bullet for Whitetail 7mmRUM

[kornbread]

Just bought a Remington 700 LSS. Looking for recommendations on what's the best factory load on deer. Plan on reloading for it but figured I'd buy some factory ammo to get started with and get my brass.

Can't speak for any factory ammo anywhere.

For reloading, that 284 family is full of great choices. I believe DA shoots a 7SAUM and whatever he pushes down the barrel would probably be a good place to start,.

Depends I would run 160 accubond
140 for deer here
Heavy Barnes bullet

I have a 7mm Rem Mag that I shoot 150gr TSX out of and like. I have 280 that I shoot 140gr partition and Ballistic tips. I figured I would see everyone's input before I went to buying ammo up.

I use to run 140gr Hornady Interbonds in mine. They were killers and would hold together at close range too

 

[TNBillyEarl]

If shooting the RUM at those speeds, I suggest something that will hold together. Nosler ABs and PTs are what I shoot. My 7mmRM shoot both bullets at 140g and 160g super tight with RL-22.

Accubond is just never a bad answer.

150 corelokt is devastating on deer. 160 accubond is brutal also.

My brother had one we loaded the 162 Hornady IL BTSP that was a hammer

Accubond is just never a bad answer.

Agree

Imr 7828. 90.gr 165 nosler or anything ab. Smoking

Don't overlook the Berger Elite Hunter or the Hammer bullets line.

 

[hittingsteal]

If shooting factory ammo hard beat nosler ammo with 160 accubond. Great accuracy and knockdown.

Have you looked for any 7mm RUM factory ammo lately? You might have to shoot what you can find. 160 grain Accubonds are a great choice.

 

[redblood]

Id go very heavy for caliber and in a well constructed bullet. Maybe 160 to 175 in a partition or accubond.

Id say anyone shooting a RUM is a reloader

 

[kornbread]

Ammo for the 7mm RUM is pretty much non existent. Brass is the same…

 

[DaveB]

PM me when you get some brass. I have some 140 gr .284 NBTs, E-Tips, and Accubonds.

140 accubond
