Bullets have changed but a lot of us luddites haven't. If you want to drive a light for calibre bullet at warp speed in a big 7 nowadays, you can probably find a bullet that is up to the task. And will hold together once it gets there. (much as it hurts me to say that
) But I still don't see any logic in having a half dozen loads and half a dozen bullets for one rifle. 120s for antelope, 140s for WTs, 150s for mulies, 160s for elk, etc. I am still a work up a good load with a good bullet and use it on everything. I just believe the 7mag was made to shoot a 160gr bullet and I have used it with excellent success on everything from antelope to elk.
IMO, if you want to shoot a lesser bullet, buy another rifle.
