Great video !! The 160 grain bullet in .284 was the original weight designed for the 7mm rem mag by its founder les bowman for elk! I personally load 160 nosler accubonds at the 3150 fps for my choice big game load. i have been able to obtain 1/2 inch moa . Long live the 7mm Remington Magnum!
I own a 7mm mag. A 300 win mag. A 30-06, and a 45-70. Where I hunt at, I always go with the 30-06, or the 45-70. Usually the 45-70, my longest shot is around 100 yards where I hunt, and it's very heavy brush. I use to use the 7mm mag and the 300 win mag when I was hunting a property with gas lines and power lines on it. Love your videos brother, very informative.
My dad gave me a Smith & Wesson 7 mm Mag and I put a Nikon 4x12x40. And when you run Hornady superformance through it,, it's a tack driver. 12 pigs and 4 deer so far this year. Nothing but head shots from 50 to 450 yards with ease. If you run anything else through that gun it's all over the paper except for hornady superformance
My first big game rifle was a Remington 700 BDL in 7mm Remington Magnum. My next was a Browning Rifle in 7mm Remington Magnum. I have read that the 175 grain Nosler Parton penetrates as deep as the heavier 338 Winchester Magnum as measured by the late gun writer Bob Bagel. That sold me on the potential of the 7mm Remington Magnum loaded correctly. I vote that you hunt deer with it.
if you use MPBR and sight in that ammo for about 3 1/4" high at 100, it'll get you out to about 325 yards without having to adjust for holdover - this would be for white tail or feral hogs. the bigger the critter, the further you can stretch MPBR
I run mine 3” high at 100 yards. Dead on at 300. However at 150 yards it will be around 5 1/2” high. Which typically makes it a high shoulder shot. And I shoot 150 grain Remington core lokt
@@v71-v9n - way back in the before time, when 7mm RM was first introduced and well into the early 1980s, elk hunters were discovering that that blazing speed came with a cost - lots of wounded elk running off, to never be recovered. Most of them didn't understand what was going on with the terminal ballistics and just assumed there was something wrong with the cartridge itself. The 7mm RM was on the precipice of being a failed cartridge. They weren't aware of John Nosler's nearly failed moose hunt back in the late 1940s, a near-failure that was the genesis of what we now call "premium" bullets. His solution to the problem was the Nosler Partition. It's still a very good bullet, but isn't really a "premium" by today's standard since the lead core isn't bonded to the jacket. The basic design of cup-and-core bullets (Remington's version of C&C bullet being the Core Lokt) was introduced in the 1890s - a lead core swaged into a gilding metal jacket. It was a great design for "fast" bullets back in those days - "fast" back then meaning up to around 2400 fps. The problem is, as Nosler and a lot of hunters have since discovered, that by the 1930s, "fast" meant 3k fps, and those bullets don't often hold up very well at those impact velocities. At 200 - 300 yards, they've decelerated sufficiently to expand well, but not catastrophically. At 50 or 60 or 70 yards, they can fail quite badly, with lead core and jacket separating. This potentially leads to non-fatal flesh wounds (at least not immediately fatal - the injured animals will succumb to infection from the wound(s) in a week or 3). Bonded bullets don't ensure a quick, clean kill, but they do dramatically improve the probability of excellent terminal performance. Swift makes 2 different bonded bullets: "A Frame" and Scirocco 2. Federal makes Terminal Ascent. Norma makes the Oryx. Woodleigh makes the Weldcore. North Fork makes the bonded Solid Shank. Barnes makes the solid copper TSX and Tipped TSX (TTSX). Cutting Edge Bullets also makes a solid copper that holds together at high impact velocity. I'm not saying cup-and-core is a bad choice, just that bonded premiums are a better choice where impact velocity might be ~2700 fps or faster. Yes, premiums are certainly more expensive, but in the grand scheme of things, ammo is THE least expensive and THE most important thing you'll bring on a hunt. How much were your rifle and optics? How much for the warm camo hunting clothes? How much for the boots? How much for the deer lease or guided hunt? How much for travel? And a box of bonded premiums will run $60 - $80, or about $3 or $4 apiece. I shoot bonded premiums exclusively out of 3 of my rifles: my 404 Jeffery and 9.3x62 Mauser because of the kind of tough animals I hunt with those 2; and my 280 AI because it's a ballistic twin to 7mm RM. I can reach 600 yards and still have a bit of energy to spare for an elk with my 280AI. I shoot premiums out of it, not for those long shots, but just in case I luck up and get a 50 yard shot at a giant elk or mule deer. I'd consider it a tragedy to spend $15K all in on an elk hunt and wound and not recover it because I wanted to save $30 or $40 on a box of ammo.
I have a model 70 in 7 mm it will put three shots in a small clover leaf at a 100 yds. According to the charts it will stay with in 2 inches plus or minus from 0 to 275 yards
I just sighted in my steyr mannlicher series s 7mm mag. yesterday with 139gr hornady superformance. 30yd zero, I was 3 in high at 100 and dropped a 10pt a hour later at 190 yds. I love that caliber, but kinda makes a mess out of a 🦌. Thanks for the videos, I'm really enjoying the series. Good luck hunting!
This is an important video as it shows the issues with testing ammo using observed drop; it's dependent on accuracy in a given rife on a given day. We all know that everything from a dirty rifle, to gusty winds, to how good or bad a day the shooter is having can change both group size and placement. The alternative gives better results, but costs money. The Oehler 89 is under 3 grand and can measure out to a mile or more and give a direct output of BC. However, I'm biased as I helped develop it.
I’m a 7mm rem mag fan too for my long range shooting. I like sighting three quarters of an inch high at 100 with federal premium with the nosler ballistic tip at an advertised velocity of 3110 FPS. I get less than one inch groups with that load in my Savage. I’d say your rifle doesn’t favor that load. I used to do a lot of long range hunts but recently been hunting shorter ranges with revolvers and muzzle loaders. That 7 mag is a flat shooter for sure! Great video series!
The Nosler Partition 160 Gr was the original loading by Remington back in 1962. They did testing with the Sierra and Speer 160 Gr BTSP’s The powder used was IMR-7828 .
Got me a nice 7 point right under my stand with a perfect shot in the neck that dropped him instantly. I was also zeroed at yards, so about a yard shot was also dead on. Love my 7mm Rem Mag! Good info my NC Brother!
Have you ever thought about trying out a muzzle tuner. It may be what your 7mm needs and would make a great video Erik Cortina makes a good tuner called EC Tuner and he makes one for barrels that are not threaded as well
Good video as usual my friend, try the Winchester Ballistic Silver tips possibly to tighten the longer range groups up. Not saying it’ll work but it couldn’t hurt to try
I Love the 7mm mag and I plan for it to be my next rifle.. My Ruger mark 2 25-06 is still my favorite but I’m a high power freak , so big bore rifles and handguns will always be in my arsenal.. Thanks for an informative video Who Tee Who
I have this rifle when new it wouldn't group better than 3 to 6 inches at 100 yards. I changed scope and hand load my ammo now 1 inch groups at 300 yards . its my favorite bastard child rifle she shines now. Just a heads up if you wait 10 to 15 minutes between shots bolt open for cooling it will group way better the pencil barrel heats up with just one shot sir. It's a hot slow burning powder it's like putting a torch in barrel heats up barrel fast as it's a thin hunting profile barrel. 139 grain sst max powder load high B.C. and fast wind not so much of a factor hauling ass that fast.
It's called planet earth..anything fun, pleasurable, good for you....is expensive.....yep.... same boat...I declined a great deal on a 50BMG because I knew I would never really be able to reasonably get accurate and have lots of fun with the $5/ round!!!i heard some Olympic shooters sometimes do 100,000 rounds a year!!!!! Good fucking lord!!! It doesn't matter if you had little virgins washing your hand loads bullets with unicorn tears....YOUR STILL BOSS!!! Hey theirs a guy on RUclips he's a handload specialist and barrel specialist...he has actually timed and length measured the way his barrel flexes with different bullets...he counter compensates for insane accuracy....fucking wicked....
@@lunam7249 the way I tell and explain it to people it's a musical note your producing a sound wave using powder primers and projectiles to get the desired effect in a given barrel. If you take a brass bell and shave it all over in a different pattern or thickness it will change the sound. If you change the power type and load amount you change the harmonics of the projectiles and barrels also the same with the bullets used different bc and bullets harnesses or softness change the harmonics too. Every firearms barrel is different and shoots differently than another you'll be lucky to get three outta 10 rifles made by the same company to shoot the exact same with the same ammo. Just like tuning a guitar you are tuning your ammo to your barrels harmonics to match and have an even overall flow and balance of energy efficient accuracy. If you ever wanna try this just add prolong Motor additive to lube your barrels it will make a difference. Or use fire power 10 aka fp10 it's a metal treatment to reduce friction make sure you apply to warm or heated up metal. It absorbs into the metal on a sub molecular levels fills in all the little scrapes nics and such.
@@adamlong54 excellent tip! I will try that!...I know using white lithium grease...but I will apply to a heated barrel like you say...thanks! Funny I do a lot of lubricants with an Olympic air gun .22 I have....Tuning a guitar yes....watch movie "little budda" 1992 Keanu reeves....enlightenment boat scene
I noticed that 7 mag has a see thru mount which puts the scope center much higher above the bore than a standard mount. You should do your viewers a favor and show them how this high scope mount position will change the trajectory tables from the standard 1.5 in. above bore mount.
Me and my buddies hunt alot of fields here in eastern Arkansas. Some stands a 300-400 yard shot is expected. We always zero at 300 and practice at that distance and well beyond that. We have taken alot of deer past 500 yards with the 7mag. They say u need about 1000 ft lbs of energy to take whitetail effectively. The 7mag can do that out to 800 yards! If a person is hunting in the woods a 7mag isn't really needed but we still hunt with them. We are about 3" high at 100 yards with our rifles. Just wanted to share this. If your setting your scope at 100 with these flat shooting magnums your not getting the benefit of having a magnum round IMO...good luck who tee who and thanks
Thanks for the info!!! I have a Ruger M77 Mark 1…. I love that firearm!!! I was taught in the military to zero at 25 meters and then 250 meters… It’s proven to be accurate with my 7mm. Any more than 250 turns into an educated guess… The optics I have are a bit limiting…
I do believe it's where they are slinging out so quick quality control has dampened quite a bit in the past 2 years and it's hunting season so it's gonna be worse that's probably why those 3 flyers happened bro
This is outstanding WTW! Thank you sir! This is what I’m literally carrying everyday in the woods this week. Whitetail hunting up here in Kentucky for the next 2 weeks!🤘🏽
I would always use steel scope rings and mounts. Like the leupold dovetail type. If that dont fix its the optics turrets. You can waste a lot of ammo sighting in cheaper mounts and optics.
For my Sako 85 7mm rem mag i bought a 20 pack of the Norma 150 gr. The ogive is 380 tho short of the lands in the rifle. I also bought 20 Federal 150 gr, and these are around 170 tho short of my rifle lands. I reload my own now 150 gr Partition 30 tho back of the lands!
Norma is good stuff... I shoot a wildcat 7 mm based off 7 mm weatherby case... Shoot 195 grainers at 2950 ft per sec... . 75 inches at 2 hundi with handloads.
My 7mm mag is bullet weight sensitive. It prefers 160 grain over all others. Surely there's something out there that would group so much better in your gun. Maybe try a different weight?
Ther has to be a problem with barrel loose lug to stock .I would like to see you add shooting over crony . . I shoot lots of long range . If you load more than one round there will be a different way the powder is sitting . Stand each round up. Pick one round a a time . And load same way not perfect for hunting but for a grouping test I find factory rounds have a large difference in bullet speed.not trying to start a fight I enjoy your videos
Awesome video and the 7mag is one of my favorite Cartridges. I’d love to see you do some hunting with it. Question for you, what do you think was the cause of the drastic POI on the 200 yard groups?
I can't remember the 4th brand but PMC 3240FPS FIOCHI 3240FPS AND XTAC 3240FPS AND THEY ALL DID THE SAME EXACT THING 20" barrel and with a 16" Dr my SFA SAINT 5.56
I love the video! Take a look at Scirocco bullets. Because it has made a huge difference for me in a 30-06. And I'm only here to help, not here to cause any issues.
@@WHOTEEWHO cool! I'll have to look into it. I'm looking into a 7mm and the Bergara looks like what I am looking for. So I'm just digging around to see what is out there. Thanks for the reply my friend.
Is it typical for a 7mm rem mag rifle to not group well? Just got a Howa tried several different ammos 1.5 inch groups at best disappointed compared to 6.5 creedmore and 22 250
It appears to be a inconsistent ammo problem... WTW - Why do you sight all your guns in for a 100yd zero ??? - your losing range with that zero, VS your actual MPB range... my person method is 200yd zero for any cartridge with a muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps or greater, but don't get me wrong,,not saying your method is wrong just curious as to why the 100yd for all...
The only reason to sight in a rifle at 100 yards would be if your scope was a turret type of scope and then you'd adjust the elevation for each shot that was at a known distance. I would assume that would be the only reason. I think that some people hear "sighting in or zeroing" at 200 yards means that you have to actually shoot at 200 yard. It's always ideal to do that but you can sight your rifle at any distance and obtain a 200 yard zero. Many people zero their rifle at 100 yards because they don't plan on ever shooting past 200 yards. Which is okay too. Some people buy rifles that are extremely flat shooting because they generally hit like a sledge hammer. (So to speak). Realistically though, if you never shot past 200 yards, the 7mm super duper ultra mag doesn't really do anything that the 7mm Mauser can't do. I had a 300 win mag that shot 6" groups at 100 yards. I sighted it in at 50 yards, killed a deer at 50 Yards and sold it. I couldn't figure out if it was me or the rifle. I quit worrying about it and just had my folks ship me my 7mm rem mag and let the next guy figure it out. But that's another reason why someone might not zero their rifle for 200 yards. Can't hit a deer at 200 yards with the rifle.
I must be learning something. I guessed it would have about a 3 inch drop at 200 yards and that's about what you averaged. That was some odd vertical stringing.
I hunt antelope with 120 siara driven with 4831 powder I can't remember how many grains 61? I sight mine in to be 11/2 \" high at 100 yards. I killed one at 430 yards with no holdover one shot kill.Not braging just saying.
WTW liked this video just liked all the others ! I noticed you favor a a high mount on a lot of your rigs ……have you ever did a point of Aim Video? I don’t recall one ? Thanks, and waiting on your next video !!
That remhog doesn't digest that tip strike to well? Loved the video brother, pretty much found the same drop in my test on my savage 110 in 7 mm rem mag. Like those boolots though. Thx for sharing Wtw
May need to find a little more consistent ammo. Bet if you shot those through the cronograph you may have seen the issue. Maybe not. Actually had 2 different points of impact.

Oh man, with a group like that you should try with another type of ammo. Just to see if that's what the rifle will do or if this is just a fluke

We have taken alot of deer past 500 yards with the 7mag. They say u need about 1000 ft lbs of energy to take whitetail effectively. The 7mag can do that out to 800 yards! If a person is hunting in the woods a 7mag isn't really needed but we still hunt with them. We are about 3" high at 100 yards with our rifles. Just wanted to share this. If your setting your scope at 100 with these flat shooting magnums your not getting the benefit of having a magnum round IMO...good luck who tee who and thanks
That's a sweet looking Bing bang...
Thanks for the info!!! I have a Ruger M77 Mark 1…. I love that firearm!!! I was taught in the military to zero at 25 meters and then 250 meters… It’s proven to be accurate with my 7mm. Any more than 250 turns into an educated guess… The optics I have are a bit limiting…
Stuck inside of Miami with those Memphis blues again. I 👍😎
I do believe it's where they are slinging out so quick quality control has dampened quite a bit in the past 2 years and it's hunting season so it's gonna be worse that's probably why those 3 flyers happened bro
This is outstanding WTW! Thank you sir! This is what I’m literally carrying everyday in the woods this week. Whitetail hunting up here in Kentucky for the next 2 weeks!🤘🏽
Good luck!
Thank you sir! 🤘🏽👊🏽
We love your show and thank for the info
Enjoying this series good job 👍🏻
That looks like you have the powder charge of a Missouri Class 16" gun powering a 30-06 boohlat. No wonder it doesn't drop much at 200 yards.
I would always use steel scope rings and mounts. Like the leupold dovetail type. If that dont fix its the optics turrets. You can waste a lot of ammo sighting in cheaper mounts and optics.
For my Sako 85 7mm rem mag i bought a 20 pack of the Norma 150 gr. The ogive is 380 tho short of the lands in the rifle. I also bought 20 Federal 150 gr, and these are around 170 tho short of my rifle lands. I reload my own now 150 gr Partition 30 tho back of the lands!
Hubby wishes you would talk about scopes more. Any advice on a particular model for a 6.5 Creedmoor, best bang for the buck? Thank you!
I am a big fan of zerotech scopes. Which model you pick depends on how far u wanna shoot. Also blackhound scopes
@@WHOTEEWHO thank you! He's looking for solid 500yd. Appreciate your help and looking forward to tomorrow's video!
Would like to see bullet drop done with the 30-06 using the Norma whitetail
Norma is good stuff... I shoot a wildcat 7 mm based off 7 mm weatherby case... Shoot 195 grainers at 2950 ft per sec... . 75 inches at 2 hundi with handloads.
It doesn't seem to like that load, kinda bad vertical string. I'd run it over the Chrono and see how bad the deviation is. I'd bet it's quite bad.
No way! Take that beautiful Weatherby Vanguard Sporter in .270 out and get you a buck! Love that blaster!!
I got a Rem 700 in that caliber. I haven't took it out on a deer hunt yet either. I need to.
My 7mm mag is bullet weight sensitive. It prefers 160 grain over all others. Surely there's something out there that would group so much better in your gun. Maybe try a different weight?
Good information pretty good shooting with factory ammo
Thanks for watching
I’d be looking for some different boolatts after that 100yds group…..
hello there!, when 30-06 bullet drop with barrel 56 cm length at least 100 yards ?
really good job, best regards!!
I always sight in at 200 yards. It gives a way better result for ranges most people shoot.
Thank ya thank ya thank ya very much for that demo. I love my 7 mag.
Can you do 30-30
Ther has to be a problem with barrel loose lug to stock .I would like to see you add shooting over crony . . I shoot lots of long range . If you load more than one round there will be a different way the powder is sitting . Stand each round up. Pick one round a a time . And load same way not perfect for hunting but for a grouping test I find factory rounds have a large difference in bullet speed.not trying to start a fight I enjoy your videos
everything i've killed in 40 years of hunting has been with my 1967 Parker-Hale 7mm rem mag.
💪💪
Dad bought it when i was born. It became mine when i was old enough.
Awesome video and the 7mag is one of my favorite Cartridges. I’d love to see you do some hunting with it. Question for you, what do you think was the cause of the drastic POI on the 200 yard groups?
I just fling boolats, I don't think about it 😝. Rifle just didn't like em
@@WHOTEEWHO yep 👍 that’s a very good possibility.
I can't remember the 4th brand but PMC 3240FPS FIOCHI 3240FPS AND XTAC 3240FPS AND THEY ALL DID THE SAME EXACT THING 20" barrel and with a 16" Dr my SFA SAINT 5.56
Have you done a 30-30 bullet drop video?
Filming that this week
In my "sendero" the correct medicine is precision hunter with 162gr 👌 and zero at 200 yds for whitetail, just perfection!
Pretty cool! I think you should do your Remington Ultra-Mag in the next video!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲
Soon
I love the video! Take a look at Scirocco bullets. Because it has made a huge difference for me in a 30-06. And I'm only here to help, not here to cause any issues.
I have videos on the Scirocco 👍👍
@@WHOTEEWHO cool! I'll have to look into it. I'm looking into a 7mm and the Bergara looks like what I am looking for. So I'm just digging around to see what is out there. Thanks for the reply my friend.
Definitely think the 200 yard zero is the choice for 7mm Rem Mag. Run the numbers.
Addy either way that's a dead on hold out to 200 yards on deer! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Good info on this gun. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Scott
Is it typical for a 7mm rem mag rifle to not group well? Just got a Howa tried several different ammos 1.5 inch groups at best disappointed compared to 6.5 creedmore and 22 250
Just like anything else, may have to find the ammo it likes
Hi love your stuff ,what you think these burris plex retical ,as you change power puts them off by alot ,maybe u get one ,signature hd
Haven't tried a burris. I need to
Would you ever look at or review a browning x bolt who tee who, they seem really good rifles for the price point
They are over $1,000. That is very expensive to me
Another awesome video..thanks
🙏🙏🙏
It appears to be a inconsistent ammo problem...
WTW - Why do you sight all your guns in for a 100yd zero ??? - your losing range with that zero, VS your actual MPB range...
my person method is 200yd zero for any cartridge with a muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps or greater, but don't get me wrong,,not saying your method is wrong just curious as to why the 100yd for all...
The only reason to sight in a rifle at 100 yards would be if your scope was a turret type of scope and then you'd adjust the elevation for each shot that was at a known distance. I would assume that would be the only reason. I think that some people hear "sighting in or zeroing" at 200 yards means that you have to actually shoot at 200 yard. It's always ideal to do that but you can sight your rifle at any distance and obtain a 200 yard zero. Many people zero their rifle at 100 yards because they don't plan on ever shooting past 200 yards. Which is okay too. Some people buy rifles that are extremely flat shooting because they generally hit like a sledge hammer. (So to speak). Realistically though, if you never shot past 200 yards, the 7mm super duper ultra mag doesn't really do anything that the 7mm Mauser can't do. I had a 300 win mag that shot 6" groups at 100 yards. I sighted it in at 50 yards, killed a deer at 50 Yards and sold it. I couldn't figure out if it was me or the rifle. I quit worrying about it and just had my folks ship me my 7mm rem mag and let the next guy figure it out. But that's another reason why someone might not zero their rifle for 200 yards. Can't hit a deer at 200 yards with the rifle.
Would love to see this video for the 300 win mag great video
Soon
Oh ok good stuff, I have this calibre in a tikka sight in for 100m, be keen to see the drop. Sorry about the metres thing I am Aussie😁
Close enough meters and yards 🤣
Looking forward to this one. Hey Adam
Hey Keith!
I must be learning something. I guessed it would have about a 3 inch drop at 200 yards and that's about what you averaged. That was some odd vertical stringing.
Sight in for point blank range!! 7mm rem mag 140gr bullet. 3.7 hight at q00 2.5 low at 329.. aim dead on from 0 to 329 dead deer..
I hunt antelope with 120 siara driven with 4831 powder I can't remember how many grains 61? I sight mine in to be 11/2 \" high at 100 yards. I killed one at 430 yards with no holdover one shot kill.Not braging just saying.
MPBR 300 yards ... sight in 2.55" high @ 100yds ... hold dead on out to 300yds
Hoping/waiting for a drop test on 7.62x39
Already did that one......
Thank you Sir for this video!
Thanks for watching Kevin
@@WHOTEEWHO thanks for the video! I just ask for this exact video a few days ago!
I would like to see a 7mm hunt. I'm planning on a cougar hunt with mine. It will be my first cat hunt. 🤞🏼
My kid has taken over my rem 700 in 7 mag. I had a muzzle brake put on it. It’s killed a lot of animals from antelope to elk.
Great stuff! 👍
🙏🙏🙏
Good info… Thanks! 👍
WTW liked this video just liked all the others ! I noticed you favor a a high mount on a lot of your rigs ……have you ever did a point of Aim Video? I don’t recall one ? Thanks, and waiting on your next video !!
I don't prefer high rings I just use what I have. Can't afford to spend a ton of money on a bunch of nice scope rings
@@WHOTEEWHO I understand , and please don’t take my observation out of context . Look forward to your videos everyday !
Always appreciate you watching
Please use it for whitetail this season WTW! That would be outstanding brother!🤘🏽🇺🇸👊🏽🤘🏽
☠👍
I have a couple rifles in that same stock , I like the stocks from boyds
The 7mag is good out 0 yard 400 yard which I. Never shoot that far where I hunt 50 to 100 yard. It put down I can tell you that😊
Do the 7 mag drop with the Sako
With most Ammo if you sight it in 1.5 inch high at 100 yards the bullets will be dead on at 200 yards
Zero at 300yd...better
That remhog doesn't digest that tip strike to well? Loved the video brother, pretty much found the same drop in my test on my savage 110 in 7 mm rem mag. Like those boolots though. Thx for sharing Wtw
Thanks for watching Richard
Loved it!!
Sounds like a hunt in 7mm will be in a video pretty soon WTW. 😁👍
🦌🦌🦌
May need to find a little more consistent ammo. Bet if you shot those through the cronograph you may have seen the issue. Maybe not. Actually had 2 different points of impact.
Which stocks are available for our 770 rem 7mm mag
