I have a Remington 7mm Mag and worked up a sweet load of 120 grain Sierra Pro Hunter and 66.0 grains of IMR-4350 pushing just shy of 3,400 fps. It groups at .27" at 100 yards. I know it will be devastating on varmints, but what about California deer and wild pigs? I have read on the internet that a lot of people use that bullet on deer with great success and Sierra's tech says it should be good, but he sounded half and half and their site says it is for medium game also. Currently working on a 139 grain load, but if someone can tell me if they any experience with this bullet hunting. Oh, before someone brings it up, I live in and hunt in an area that does not have the stupid lead free law.

I don't recall him ever complaining that they didn't work to his satisfaction. He used to shoot Sierra's in everything now he is on a Hornady "kick". I would try them.
