LifeNRA Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Re: what do people think about a 7mm Rem. Mag. Way too much gun for deer! My brother has one and blew out the front shoulders of his buck one year and has never used it again! I believe he sold it. I think that the 7mm mag is a kill, gut, and cook gun all in one!!!

Modillo Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Re: what do people think about a 7mm Rem. Mag. well say i shoot a 160gr. corelock in my 7mm mag and then use a 150. gr. in the same gun which will penitrate better . the 160 because of the speep if the slug and the 150gr. is a great round for deer sure it will blow up on bone but wont all civilian rounds do that, notice i said civilian rounds not millitary since it is very illeagle to use fmj on any game, so the 162 gr. corelock in the .06 i fout is better than the 150 gr. when my step-dad shot his deer last fall and i did not have a whole lot of blod shot in the meat and when i shot my deer with the 150gr. corelock i had shot it went in the left side of the neck and came out through the right shulder and had alot of blood shot around the shulder so i think ill try the 160gr. or the 165 gr. for deer hunting this year just check it out any ways. what do u guys think i should do. modillo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Re: what do people think about a 7mm Rem. Mag. A 160 grain bullet should penetrate better than a 150 grain if they are the same bullet type. I have not seen a 162 grain .30 cal bullet in a factory 30/06 load. Does it exist? I have been shooting an 06 for seven years and have never seen one. If I had a 7mmm I would probably shoot the Remington Express 175 Core-Lokt factory load if it shot good. Maybe even the Remington Managed Recoil 140gr load. In my opinion when you cross the 3000fps mark you just start punching holes thru deer. You want the deer to be absorbing as much energy as possible. Wait for the deer to be broadside and put the bullet thru its chest and you will not waste hardly any meat. The last two deer I took with a rifle were shot this way and I did not lose any meat. One did not have a heart and one did not have any lungs after. If you shoot a deer in the shoulder with pretty much anything you can kiss that meat goodbye. Be patient and pick your shots.

AJ Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Re: what do people think about a 7mm Rem. Mag. The closest to a 162 gr .308 diameter bullet that was ever loaded in a 30-06 was the AP M2 that had bullets verying from 163 grains to 168 grains. It was an armor piercing round. The 162 grain bullet is a standard bullet for the .284" or 7mm cartridges. When comparing bullet penetration, the one with the highest sectional density, typically wins. Sectional density (SD) is defined as the weight of a bullet (in pounds) divided by the square of its diameter (in inches). Bullet design, velocity, and the medium that the bullet is penetrating will determine the bullets performance. Most modern big game cartridges, with the proper bullets will have more than adequate penetration for deer. Like I said earlier, once it passes through, who cares?

Modillo Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Re: what do people think about a 7mm Rem. Mag. see i dont hunt like you easterners i can take a shot with the deer facing me face to face and still bring him down with one shot. and if he is broadside it will not move 9 out of 10 times because where i put the bullet, one inch below the spine and behind the fronshoulder and he will drop dear in his tracks 9 out of 10 times. try it you will find out your selfs. and the 150s doo put a good sixe whole in the deer. it went in about the same size as the slug and came out <on the skin>about the size of a bottle cap. beneeth the skin it was the size of a coffee can. it blew up the right front shulder and to tsave it all u have to do is soak it for about 24 hrs. in salt water. and yes they doo make a 162.gr factory load reminton does in the .06 because my dad uses them. modillo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Re: what do people think about a 7mm Rem. Mag. I kind of figured that you actually meant 165 grain or 168 grain but with the accuracy of your typing that you have shows us, well it could be anything. I sure hope you shoot better than you type.
