Best 7mm Mag. Bullet

I shoot fiive 7mm calibers not including the 7 Rem. My vote for best all-round bullet that covers the entire .284 spectrum is the 140 grain Barnes TSX. Good from deer on up through elk. Great accuracy (.450 BC), exceptional terminal performance ( shot one through a big buck - lengthways!) and made from solid copper - no lead at all! Retained weight is usually close to 100%.
You just can't push them fast enough to cause them to fail. I used the standard X bullet and put up with some fouling just to get the performance. The TSX takes care of the fouling problem and maintaines the exceptional terminal performance.
