Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 175 Grain 7mm bullets

Anyone use these heavier bullets in your 7mm?Don't matter if it's 7-08 or the ultra mag how was your results.

I've been using 175 gr. sierra gamekings and hornadys in my 7mm saum. I also have some 175 gr. core-lokts and hornady roundnoses. Hope to kill a deer with one of the above this year. The sierras are one of the best shooting bullets out of my rifle. I know a fella that uses the 175 sierra in his 7mag. and it's his favorite bullet. He says it kills like lightning. Iknow two other fellas that use 175 gr. roundnose bullets in a 7X57. They like how they work on game too.

I shoot 175 partitions when I'm elk hunting. Use the 160 AB's for deer and goats. The poi is close enough to not make enough difference when shooting elk.

Edited to add that those are shot out of a 7 Rem mag.

I like 175 gr RN out of my 7x57.

Haven't dropped anything but steel targest with it though...

I've got a box of 175 grain Speer Mag-Tips just waiting for me to try out. I'll probably wait until hunting season is over though. They sure look slick though.

175 grain Nosler Partitions, IMR 7828 and a 7mm Weatherby Magnum. Makes an accurate and deadly combination. Always been one shot, one kill on deer and elk.

For quite a while I used the 175 Noz out of my 7 RM and then in my Mashburn Supers.

In the RM I used 7828 and in my Mashburn I use R25.

Excellent bullet for all comers and is one I highly endorse.

My 280rem shoot Hornady 175gr RN and H4831 great, under a inch. I killed a nice hog with this load. The hog down in its tracks!!

I've used 175 gr HRNs in my 7X57 scout rifle for several years. It is 6 for 6 on whitetails, all one shot kills. Great bullet performance.

I have used the 175gr Nosler in my 7 Mag for 30 years. It was the only bullet Warren Page used in his Mashburn Mag.
My rifle has a long throat and I load it to almost 3,000 fps. I could exceed 3,000 fps with the old style Nosler and still have a few. Last year I drew elk tags in 4 States and took four big bulls with four shots. I use the Hornady 175 for deer and critters smaller then elk. I might add that both bullets are very accurate in my rifle and shoot flatter then one might think. The 175gr Nosler penetrates on a par with the 200gr Nosler in a 300 Win. The 175,s work well in my .284 at 2,750 fps also. I use them when I am shooting over feeders and food plots and its bang flop every time.
I would sure give the 175 a try if were looking for an all around bullet for a 7 mm rifle.
