How big an animal would you take with this caliber?

TTSX at 150 grain would be plenty, because you have the tip to initiate expansion
 
Caliber is fine. 110 grain slug is light but OK for light plains game......170 grain sized slug for heavier animals. A 170 sized is great on Alaskan moose so take that for a size reference. Good hunting!

Now I just have to find some, a real problem up here
 
Check out www.prophetriver.com. they are in AB and have a good selection of Barnes. I saw the 150gr 7mm for $46.99.
 
They have North Fork too but, dang, those are expensive.

I'll drop them a line. Shipping in Canada is stupid expensive, paid $16 for two boxes last time
 
The 150 TTSX will hit very, very hard on those animals. I have used them in my brothers 300 WSM and they are nothing short of amazing.
 
I have also used the TTSX's in a .270WSM and my .300 WSM. Penetration has been excellent. I have 3 or so recovered bullets. They are all picture perfect on expansion. No hesitstion to use them on any animal. My only issue is in my .300 WSM. It copper fouls quickly and needs to be cleaned after every 15 shots.....
Went to Africa last May and used my 7mm. Someday I hope to get a report up. Used 160 gr accubonds running just over 3000 fps. Kudu crumpled in mid-step. Gemsbuck DRT. Doubled lunged my Black Wilderbeast and he went about 200 yds. Sable took 2 shots.... Missed the high shoulder 1st shot and got lungs. Dropped at the 2nd. Reedbuck was also DRT.
Shot placement plus a good bullet equals dead critters. Bruce

I would have brought my 300wsm but zero chance of ammo if they lose my luggage, hence the 7mm
 
25 years ago I shoot a 1200 kg Hereford bull with a frontal head shot at 15 meter, using a 22 lr, drop dead... a couple of buff with 30-06 etc..etc..

Try Grouse River, Cabelas Canada, Bass Pro (Canada), Reliable Gun
 
I wouldn't be very comfortable with that bullet. I prefer heavy for caliber bullets.
I took my 7mm Mag to Limpopo this year and used the 175gr. Last year I used the 160gr.
 
I have killed a 275lb hog with a 22 lr , one shot stone dead. Granted the hog was not an animal I was going to be paying for and they are a pestilence down here. On animals in Africa I would he hard pressed to dip below the 150 grain mark.
 
To answer the question, the biggest animal I would take with a 110gr from a 7 Mag would be something the size of a whitetail. Or in Africa a Bushbuck, Springbok, etc...

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
