Remington AccuTip? recommendations for 7mm-08?

[TNReb]

I recently had a 7mm-08 sort of fall in to my lap. For the most of deer season I'll stick with my other rifles, but I would like to get this one ready to go.

I shoot the Hornady Superformance SST in my other rifles... and that's what I generally prefer. Unfortunately it seems about impossible to find the stuff in stock anywhere for the 7mm-08.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Remington AccuTip? I've actually never shot it, but I did find some available today.

Any other recommendations on something I should be able to find in stock?

See if you can find the Fusions. My son and I both shoot the 95-grain ones in our .243's and have been very pleased. This is the buck he killed Saturday and where I found him.

Not a fan of the Remington bullets. I would search of midway USA and try to order some sst's one of the best bullet on the market.

MidwayUSA has them on back order also. Expected delivery isn't until January. They seem pretty much impossible to find. I've been searching every site for a few days and went to several stores today. I found other calibers, but no 7mm-08.

Thanks Gravey... I'll check those out. I saw those at two different stores today - but I didn't know anything about them.

150 gr hornaday interlocks over a max load of varget, CCI LARGE RIFLE PRIMER

Yep I agree the SST's are what I generally shoot but the interlocks are the same. Kinda hard finding something right now for the 7-08.
Just my opinion, I don't shoot Remington bullets.

I recently bought some Federal with 140gr Accubonds and they are extremely accurate!

I shoot the Hornady SST out of mine also and it does a great job. I've never had trouble finding them, but haven't really looked since the ammo shortage. Guess I better get to looking.

Hard to beat the 120g nosler ballistic tips for a light recoil load for kids (or a fast load for adults for that matter).

For my loads with the 7-08, I prefer the 140g ballistic tips... perfect performance on deer

I have killed deer with Accutips in 260 Rem and the 7-08. No problems. All were pass throughs. And accurate in my rifles.

I use the Barnes vortex 120grain in my daughters 7-08 and they work extremely we'll.

I prefer the 139 grn Hornady Interlocks, put the 150s are great too.

For several years I ran the Remington 120 Hp in my daughters 7-08, they are a stone cold killer in that gun. Every deer dropped within sight. no I switched her over to the Barnes Vortex TSSX, she lost a GIANT buck I watched get plowed broadside last year. I am so so over that still, I am thinking of going back to the HP's if I can find them.

I use 140 grain barnes. My wife uses 140 grain nosler partitions. Either of those are awesome.

 

[woodsman87]

I have always used 120 or 140 grain Remington Core-lockts or 140 grain ballistic silvertips by Winchester.
The deer that I lost was because of poor shot placement. I never blame anything on my weapon or ammo. If the scope is off it is my fault as well. If you hit a deer in the lungs its going to kill it if your using a high-powered centerfire rifle.

It has been my experience that Remington Core-LOkt bullets are excellent. They have performed very well for me in a wide range of calibers for 30+ years. They are the best bullet value on the market.

I use 140 grain barnes. My wife uses 140 grain nosler partitions. Either of those are awesome.

x2 on the 140gr Barnes. Grandkids & I have shot them for years with good results. Oldest grandson dropped a 7'2" black bear in his tracks at 150 yds with one shot with his '08 using Barnes TSX's.
