180 grain Hornady SP over 81 grains of H4831 for 3150 fps. Or 83 grains of IMR7828. Great deer load, but it will mess up a shoulder.

For a better all-around load, listen to what Steelhead said. Load the 180TSX to 3150 fps and you're good to go for deer to bigfoot.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
