I have a 7mm Rem Mag Sendero and was wanting to load some Nosler Accubond or Accubond Long Range bullets for 200-400 yard shots on whitetails. Any of you ever used them and would be willing to share your opinions or experiences with these bullets? Also, would ya'll recommend the 140 gr or 160 gr for that distance shooting? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Northern white tail or southern?? I would use some h1000 to push the 160 and kill everything you point it at. 160 would also work if bear or elk ends up on the list of thing to shot.

Southern, rarely shoot one over 180 pounds. Most in the 140 lb range.

So a bullet recommendation changes based on if the whitetail is southern or northern? Thanks for the laugh....

I'd shoot whatever is more accurate at those short ranges...

The deer won't give a rip I promise...

YA a northern deer can weigh 300+ #. A southern deer will never weigh that 180 l# at most.
So bullet weigh would make a difference. Not to mention the BC on the 160 is way better.

Just so you know an arrow will kill anything north or south but it's always better to bring more than less.

One has to be careful when using the word "never". smile I've shot three in central Mississippi that went over 225 lbs (on a scale) and two of those were just over 235.

Ok I'm wrong the deer in the south are just as big as the deer in the north and use what ever [bleep] bullet you want.

This place is full of great advice.

I would use the 160 but I'm sure a 120 bt would be fine. Or what ever else punches the vitals.

You are so far behind that a grand visit to PAC nor was worth a post. How was the shot show. You are so far out of the loop you can't even find charity passes. Funny stuff. If you only knew an ffl.

I hunt northern white tail exclusively some have been in excess of 250 pounds, and I can testify that out to 450 yards a 139 grain interbond is plenty.The 100 grain TSX has worked well to 350.
