So I’ve bought a 7mm REM Mag with the purpose of going out west. I wanted something that’s flat shooting and with enough retained energy and velocity to be confident to 500 yards.
I had pile of 154gr Interlocks and made a load over IMR 4831 that shoots MOA so I could deer hunt with it some this year and just shoot it some. I’ve taken the interlocks out to 400 and have no trouble staying on a 10x12 plate.
I looked at every bullet under the sun and with BC, minimum expansion velocity, availability, and priced reasonably well enough I can shoot a lot and practice at range, I settled on the 162 ELDX.
So far I’ve loaded three powders to test. I’ve tested H 100 V and with 59 grains it’s shooting just under MOA. I’ve got an IMR 4831 and H 4350 load to test next. They are all advertising around 2900 FPS so I’ll use whatever is most accurate and shoot across a chronograph later.
Has anyone used that bullet on mule deer, elk, or auodad or something similar? I want to know it’s going to perform when I get the chance. I understand it’s best suited for shots past 200 yards and isn’t the stoutest bullet.
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
