7MM WSM

Whiterock · Jan 13, 2014

I just purchased a Browning Stalker in 7MM WSM with a Leupold VX III for my western trip this year. Have not shot it yet but would like some input on Bullet,powder combination that anyone is willing to share for this cal.Will be hunting everything from antelope to elk with this rifle.

160gr Nosler accubonds is where I would start. H4831SC, H1000 or Magpro for powders.

I have a 7mm too. The Nosler B-tip 150gr is a good medium weight for the 7mm and the game you say. Push it with H4350/H4831SC for all round use. Won't recomend charge weight, but you can look that up.

I also have a browning 7mm wsm. I shoot a Barnes tsx 140gr with 65gr of imr4350 behind it. Getting around 3150fps. Works great on elk and deer. Great choice of gun, you will love it.

My gun likes 4350. So far barnes bullets have done well but they do foul the barrel after 15 or so round. I have also found the barnes like to be pushed hard and fast and the faster I pushed um the better the group. So far the 140 grainers have suit me. Accubonds didn't fair so well as they punched through the animal without a whole lotta damage and also didn't group nearly as good either no matter the charge. The barnes wrecks um while shotting fast and flat.

I do not load the same bullets for antelope and deer as I do for elk. If I were looking for one bullet for all I'd stick with bonded bullets like the accubond or just use partitions. 160s.

I bought Nosler Silver Ballistic Tips and Nosler Partitions . 200 of each in 150 grain and will see how they shoot.
I talked to a guy that goes to the local gun shop by me and he gets good accuracy with 61.8 grains of IMR4350 and 150 grain partions.
