I have been using only Barnes 120gr original X's with Moly, TSX and TTSX's in various 7mm RemMags that I load for belonging to my father, son and brother in law among others. They have been working wonderfully for a couple of decades both here and in Africa on game up to and including Roosevelt Elk and Black bear.

BUT, now that I have a larger 7mm Magnum in my 7mm Mashburn Super, I have purchased and am Moly-Coating some bullets that have a bit higher BC's since our newest deer hunting properties have offered shots of at 600 yards and a bit over on nice bucks and I would like a bullet that carries a bit more "oomph" out at those ranges, but with still give a good starting velocity and a flat mid range trajectory.

In the Molying proccess are some 139gr GMX's, 140gr TTSX's, a few 162gr A MAx's given to me and some 140gr Horny SST's.

I should still be able to get to my much loved 3500fps minimum starting out velocity as I was hitting 3700-3800fps with the 120's.

If you are sticking to shots of under 500 yards or your round/cartridge chosen typically utilizes less than 70grs or so of whatever powders then I would go with the 120gr TTSX and never look back.

GOOD LUCK and please do report back with your choice and especially any success stories!
