or

Accubonds

Can't go wrong with either.

#1 choice: Partitions!!!! B.C. is irrelevant at the ranges you mention.

My Rem 700 7mm RM likes them!

As does my Winchester 70. 7828 SSC gets me 3100fps in a 24" tube.

SST's are cheaper, have decent BC's, and are hell on deer at 7 Mag velocities. I like the 154. Does it really matter which bullets you pick? Deer are easy to kill.

150 Swift Sciroccos at about 3150

It’s all a preference of what cycles and shoots best in your BAR. Personally I wouldn’t waste a 160 class 7mm bullet on any deer. A 140 NBT at 3,300 fps will accurately reach farther than you can shoot and possibly cycle better in an autoloader. The 140 NBT out of a 7mm Rem Mag at that speed will devastate any deer or pronghorn that walks at 500 yards.

I like 140 Ballistic tips with 64 grains of IMR 4350. This load is great in all of my 7 mags. I used partitions at one time, but Ballistic tips kill just as well

My 7mm RM likes:
150 Nosler Partitions
162 grain Hornady SP
Both ABLR

If I had to have just one bullet, it would be a tough choice.
For Antelope Mt. Goat, Sheep I’d pick ABLR or Horn 162 grain SP
For deer 162 Horn SP
For elk, moose or deer 150 grain Partitions

These all shoot sub MOA. But for some reason those Hornady 162 Interlock are crazy accurate in my 7mm RM.

I have been shooting 160gr Nosler Accubonds @ 3100fps in a 26" Remington 700 with very good results. Under 1 MOA. I have taken several whitetail, including two large Saskatchewan bucks with them, and only one went about 20yds. All others dropped in their tracks. All have exited, not that a whitetail should really pose much of a challenge for this bullet. I also have a good load with the 175gr Nosler Partition @ 2950fps. Although I haven't used this bullet on game, it's performance is well established. When I hunt moose in Newfoundland, I may try the Partition. I have also used Accubonds in a 7mm-08 with similar results from the 140gr bullet.

140 AB at 2850 from a 7mm-08 is skookum.

In my Rem 700CDL (fitted in 700LSS stock) 154gn Hornady Interlocks and 71.5gns of RL25 worked well on game. From memory, velocity was around 3100fps

150g Swift Scirocco

The AB, if you can get them to shoot. I have had very good luck with them out past a few football fields, where the PT starts its downward slide. I do like the Interlocks, I hunted them for a few years because of their accuracy but did not like their performance on game.
