The 7mm was the first rifle i bought, and loaded for.
My favorite load for deer was a speer 115 grain tnt hollowpoint behind 71 grains of IMR 4831.
Got the load idea from an old timer. Good accuracy and even with the big deer in michigan, they performed spectacularly. Never had any of the deer i shot move a step. A big doe i shot at 200 or so yards that dressed at 200 pounds dropped like a sack of potatoes, and when i gutted her i remember picking up the lungs, and when i squeezed a tiny bit they slid right between my fingers. Jelled them! Hydrostatic shock is amazing...
