Bullet Performance - 7 Mm Rem Mag

Hornady Ballistics

Long Path,

Perfect! I do recognize the 139 gr ballistics....do appreciate the 175 gr data. Not as much drop and loss of Energy at 300 yds as I expected. I suppose the 154 gr Spirepoint/Interbond and the 162 gr Spiepoint would be a good alternative to use with the following data: Trajectory/Velocity,Energy

Bullet Muzzel 100yd 200yd 300yd

154 SP -1.5 1.40 0.00 -6.60
3035,3149 2814,2708 2604,2318 2403,1975

154 IB -1.5 1.40 0.00 -6.20
3035,3149 2854,2784 2680,2455 2512,2158

162 SP -1.5 1.50 0.00 -6.80
2840,3109 2757,2734 2582,2397 2413,2094


If I should keep to the sub 2900 velocities, all these fit the bill. I guess I need to try 'em out and see how they fly before loading my own. Otherwise your suggested 175 gr could be a few loaded with Nosler Partition Spitzers or Barnes XLC Spitzers with some variables in powder charges.

Thanks. I'll keep your table for reference.

Matt-
The Hornady 175 must have a slightly higher BC than the Barnes at .530. Our numbers were identical for the 139gr. Interbond and essentially the same for the 175's.

Duck-
By no means am I suggesting that you should be wedded to the Barnes X or even the 175 grain weight. I brought these up as examples of rounds that I believe will cause less bloodshotting than the light loads you're using. The Barnes X bullets are made for penetration.
