7mm
Anyone have consistancy/accuracy with a particular brand of 7mm bullets? I'm looking for 139 -140gr moving at approx 2300 f/s out of a 7-30 Waters for northeast deer.

I have a 7BR, 7-08, and 7mag. I have found Speer, Sierra, and Nosler to work well in all of them. The BR prefers 120 and 130, the -08 prefers 140, and the 7 mag prefers 160, with 140 close behind. Any similar maker of quality bullets should work well, depending on the powder, etc.
Good luck |

Great. Have you had any experience with Combined Technologies (Nosler)?

I tried many of those Hornadys- just could never get them to work well in MY rifle with the powders I was using - 760, 4350, 4831, 4064, 7828. You would think they would still do good as close in shape and size....oh well, part of the fun is finding "the one load" that puts a smile on your face

I'll bet the Speer 145 spitzer flat base Hot-Core would make you a good hunting load for your 7-30 Waters , with either W-748 or 760 .

combined technology for 7-30 Waters
I do NOT recommend the CT (aka fail-safe from Nosler/Win) for use in the 7-30 because the CT only works good in the really fast chamberings (7 RemMag, 7x64), also the 7-08 is to slow for creating a consistent performance of the CT........
