Same thought Jorge. For MS whitetails it seems like a bit much, but if they shoot good and he enjoys shooting them, why the hell not? He certainly won't be under gunned.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

They don't have a plastic tip and the highest bc you can imagine but they will absolutely work at any REASONABLE range you use them.

I have not used 175 Hornadys but used 175 Sierra spitzer BT. Used on Deer and elk. Deadly bullet and the 175 H should be just as good.
I like 175' bullets in the 7Mag.

Based on low velocity performance, and higher....
at least the old 175 RN from Hornady, I think those bullets were more along the lines of developed for the older 7 x 57 Mauser Loads...
with MV in the 2350 fps range..... they opened up well at low speeds..
that was my experiences with both the `75 RN Hornady and the 170 RN Sierra...

[quote=Pharmseller]That’s a lot of cartridge for deer.
That’s what I was thinking. I’m sure they would work well, just seems like more of an elk load. Since you have the bullets, I would work up a loaD and it don’t think you would have to hit 2900 to be effective.
