Best Ammo for Model 770 Rem. 7Mag
« on: January 09, 2009, 04:38:09 AM »
I recently purchased the above stated firearm, and was shooting the standard Rem. Core Lokt (not sure what grain it was).  What have you all had the best success with in the way of ammunition if you own this gun?
Thanks

Unfortunately, what ammo shoots accurately in one rifle won't always shoot the same in another of the same type. That's also one of the fun thing of buying a new rifle...the getting to know it(the rifle) while shooting different brands and bullet weights.

I agree with HWD, but you can narrow it down a little. Taking the twist of the barrel into account and the BC of the bullets, I would start in the 139-150 grn range. My 7's love 139 grn Hornady interlock and my various handloads with 140 and 145's.  Happy Shooting!
