140 gr. Sierra Pro-Hunter #1910. Most accurate bullet I have used in my 280AI. Works great on whitetails but I have never used it on anything bigger.

139 grain hornady or 154 grain hornady. My cousins current 7mm won't shoot the 140s so he is stuck with the 154. That said they do seem to work with a charge of 66.5 grains of h4831. That said I haven't loaded those bullets in a long time so i'm not sure if thats the right charge.

Depending on the game I think the Hornady 139, 154 and 162 Gr Interloc's are very hard to beat and very accurate.

I shot the 154 Hornady sp (the flat base spire point) out of a 7mm Rem Mag for years, killed many elk and deer with it. It will treat you well in the business of filling a freezer.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I've used the 145 Speer in a Model 88 Win in .284 to kill many deer and antelope, several elk and a couple of moose. I tried 139 Hornadys, but due to the short .284 neck and model 88 clip the bullets had to be seated too deeply and they tumbled.
I use the 130 grain Speer in my wife's Model 7 Rem and my Tikka, both in 7mm-08, and they have taken a dozen antelope, a half dozen deer, six elk, and a moose, so far. All one shot.

139 grain Hornady SST in my 280AI has been a great Whitetail bullet. Plus they are inexpensive.

Old stock Nosler Solid Base 150 grain out of a 7mm-08
I tripped over 4 boxes of these bullets at the local swap meet for 15.00 per box (100 bullets per box) They're out of production now.
Shoots really well with IMR 4064 powder.
