Thread: 7mm rem mag projectile options

Yup have used 162gn eldm's before as have also used 180gn eldm's and both have been super accurate and absolutely slay reds, I definitely share the view that 162s could be a bit soft at rem mag velocities up close, that was why we switched to 180gn eldm's. @bigbear I don't like sst as they have a reputation for being a bit explodey and meat mincey, that's my feelings on them.
Was talking to @7mmsaum and I'm gonna give 166gn ATIP a burn.
I know what definarely works, just want to try something different.
