stubblejumperI use 140gr bullets out of my own 7mmstw's and our mature bucks often weigh 300lbs or more on the hoof.

StonecreekIf that bullet shoots well in your gun, then it's a reasonable choice. Deer don't require a bullet that heavy -- nor do they require a "controlled expansion" or "premium" bullet -- but there's no disadvantage (other than very slighly more recoil) to using the 160 grain bullet vs. a lighter one.
