Thoughts on the 7mm Weatherby mag
« on: December 30, 2002, 07:25:38 AM »
I just picked up a Rem. 700 SS 7mm weatherby mag with synthetic stock and a Leapold 2.5x10 for what I thought was a great buy, $400 bucks, but that is not my question.  Need to know what grain you guys advise for Eastern Washington Mule Deer, and why. Thanks in advance.

Man, you stole that gun!    :lol:

I would consider a 140 or 150 grain ballistic tip if it were me.  The trajectory of either of these rounds is flat enough for any long shots you may encounter and they will still offer plenty of knock down power.

Good luck with it.
