Big green has worked the bugs out of their ammo over the years and green box Remington ammo is consistent and hard to beat. The Core-Lokt bullet is still one of the best out there. Lots of UMC ammo is hardball stuff. Winchester Ammo has many different levels of production quality. I've found Winchester Ammo to be satisfactory over all. They formed an alliance with Nosler some years back and offer a line up with Nosler Bullets Ballistic Silver Tip and others I prefer Winchester brass for my reloading.

WA Mtnhunter. I would reverse Treestand's order and put Federal Premium right there with Remington. Remington Express grain Core Lokts are the most accurate ammo I have ever fired in my.

Hornady the worst. It all comes down to what the most accurate in your fire arme for my ,,7m Hornady Work's best. Jeff Bowers. I can't truly compare the two, because I'm not sure if they have the exact same rounds between them. I get the UMC, like someone said above, for target practice.

They are full-metal-jacket ammo, and not for hunting. My regular Remington and Winchester ammo perform pretty much the same in my configuration. I like Remington. They shoot the best out of all my rifles and get the job done on the business end. I think all of the big makes are reliable, just shoot what your guns like best. I would have to say Remington. I haven't shot much factory ammo in years though. I think that Norma is above the others, There componants, brass, powder and bullets seem to be better.

The latter round is a tad more powerful; so little, though, that any advantage to it lies in the fevered imagination of the user. Both are excellent cartridges. Both have been popular from their inceptions. Both are very close on cartridge best-seller lists , usually lurking around the No. The real difference, if there is such a thing, is that the 7mm Rem Mag is not truly a magnum, and that the. The cartridge had just enough bullet weight to take on any North American big game except the big bears.

It had enough velocity to make hitting easy at what was then considered long range. There was a grain load that did around 3, fps, and a grain bullet that made 2, with a strong following wind. And it had very little recoil. The 7mm Remington Magnum debuted in , chambered in the brand-new Model rifle.

The cartridge was loaded with grain bullets at fps and grain slugs at These are real-world figures from my own chronographing. The round was a major, and immediate, success. One of the factors that drove the 7mm Remington Mag was undoubtedly the excellence of the Model Those rifles would shoot.

In fact, the first sub-MOA group I ever saw from a big-game rifle was shot by a gun writer named Bob Zwirz with a in 7 mag. The rest of the load was CCI primers and 68 grains of the old Hodgdon powder. This was in , and it made such an impression on me that I remember the load today, when I often have trouble remembering who I am. Zwirz cut out the group and kept it in his wallet. When he showed it to people they became hushed, and a few wept openly. Another factor that helped the 7mm Rem Mag was the fact that in , hardly anyone had a chronograph, and if you did, using it was a major pain.

After all, it kicked more and made more noise than a. Herein lies something of a mystery. When the Remington magnum was developed, it was by no means the first such round in. Les was a Wyoming gun nut, and outfitter, and I think they sent him an experimental rifle in the new caliber, and he loved it, and so they went with it.

Les was also stone deaf. He heard less than I do. He owed part of this to shooting and part of it to the fact that he flew open-cockpit mail planes for the Post Office back in the s and 30s, and lost a good chunk of his hearing thereby.

I consider this an unfair advantage. Checking back through my records, the only one I can find that I owned I bought in , and hunted with it, and thought it was OK and no better, and had it rebarreled to. I have, however, shot a lot of others.

A tie. As far as bullets by themselves are concerned, the 7mm has a big advantage. The practical range of bullet weights for the.
