Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Winchester 7mm 150gr Power Point

Can't hurt to try them. I shot 60 gr ( I think) Power Points in a 223 WSSM and they were plenty accurate and damn deadly on deer. I can't imagine 150's in a 7 RM bouncing off.

I've been using them for fire forming for years. Guess I should look at them differently. powdr

I wouldn't worry about it, 7 rem mag doesn't run in an AR, so everywhere I have been, they actually have it in stock. There is also a decent stock of 300wm, .270 and 30-06.

I shot a fair amount of the 150gr Power Point factory loads in my Win 70 Super Grade 7mm Rem Mag. They had 'em marked waaay down at the end of the season one year at Wally World, and I couldn't pass 'em up. It liked them a lot and I could count on 3/4" to a little over an inch groups out of them, depending on the wind and my shooting that day. I never shot anything any larger than a ~240lb whitetail buck with them, but they put 'em down quickly and always penetrated completely through, even on one I shot quartering almost right to me.

I dropped two does with one shot with that load one evening, at about 275yds, and it was a complete pass-through even on the back deer. I didn't know that another doe was directly behind the one I was shooting at, but when I pulled the trigger, the doe behind went titts up right there and the one in front made about two jumps and piled up. This was with 150gr Power Point factory loads I had bought in 2003.

Alas, I had to sell that rifle to finance my divorce from my first wife, but the friend that I sold it to loves it and continues to kill a lot of deer and several elk with it.

I have used the 150 grain Power Point a good bit in my 7 mag. The Power Point shoots plenty accurate enough for deer hunting for me. I've shot deer as close at 10 yards and as far as 300 yards with them with no problems. I will warn you though that the Power Point is soft so if you hit a shoulder bone at close range, it will just about tear that shoulder off. If you get the accuracy that you want, I'd say stock up on them, but try to stay away from the shoulders or you will lose both front shoulders.

They grouped great on my 7RM, but 160gr Partitions and Sierra Game Kings group better, I would have no problem shooting them if they came on top accuracy wise. No experience on game though.
