deer bullet for 7 mag

I could save some money by just glass bedding
But i kind of like the has precision stocks.
It throws one about 2 inches off , but most rounds are around an inch. I am going to try the accubond and see if it shoots any better.

This is just a personal thing with me but it has worked for about sixty years for me.

Over the years I have owned several different rifle types, and chambered for many different cartridges. What I have always done is load the heavy bullet for a chambering and shoot everything with that one bullet weight.

I have three 7mm mags a Ruger No1 varmint rifle, and Rem 700 that belonged to my father, and a 98 Mauser with a Duglas medium barrel.

I use the 160 gr Nosler Partition for everything from white tail to ELK.

In all my rifles I never have to learn a different trajectory for that rifle because it never changes.

Works for me!.............

That is sound wisdom,
My approach is not far from yours. I would call a 160 a medium weight bullet.
I like 165s in the 30,06 150s in the .308
However i was hoping for a flat enough load that trajectory out to 300 yards was flat enough to forget trajectory.
