Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Anyone using 150 gr E-Tips with a 7mm Rem Mag?

My brother wants me to work up a deer load for his 7 Rem Mag. I have a plethora of options, among them the 150 E-Tip. At 7 Rem Mag speed I like the idea of a monometal.

I have both MagPro and Retumbo.

Anyone have experience with this combo?

I have used the 150 E-Tip quite extensively on both Alaskan Deer and Goats as well as African Plains Game up to Eland (inc. Wildebeest, Zebra, etc.)

My load was as follows:

72.5 gr. of Ramshot Magnum, 150 E-Tip loaded 3/100's off the lands. 3,000 fps from a 24" barrel. (*book max, 73.2gr.)

My groups were in the 1/2-3/4" at 100, 1.5" at 200 yards.

I had full penetration on 550# Wildebeest and the Zebra stopped the bullet in the far off shoulder after 30" of penetration.

The recovered bullet was textbook perfect.

Thanks.
