For 20+ years a Speer 160g Grand Slam was my choice in my 7mm RM, deer and elk. Worked near and far. Stopped using them around 2004 when I went to true bonded bullets. Took my last elk with one three years ago, at 411 yards, quartering away.

Not the sleekest bullet, but out to 400 yards that isn't a problem. No problem in my experience getting MOA accuracy in a rifle capable of such.

That said, I now use and recommend Barnes TTSX and AccuBond to my family and extended family members for big game.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
