Anyone shooting these in the 7 mag? I have q 22" Browning X bolt, 1-8 twist. Running out of time to experiment.

Not factory ammo but the 150 BT in my hand loads were great as far as accuracy goes. Haven't harvested anything with them but they're a real good bullet. A lot of guys use them. I wouldn't hesitate to.
I had a few Federal Vital Shok in the same bullet the shot great but they are discontinued. I bought the Nosler hoping they will shoot close to the Federal. 3 shot group at 100 yards , all holes touching.
At 100 yards, they're likely going to be pretty close to each other. Granted the velocity for both are close to the same.
Normally not shooting past 200 yards at all. That's a long shot here in Southern West Virginia.

I ran them in my 7STW breaking in the barrel, quite accurate, only reason is I use them in my 7-08 and had them on hand.
I know the bullets work, but is the ammo accurate, or you just don't know yet?
Cheers.

Just don't know yet. Velocity is about the same.

I've never found an inaccurate load using Nosler Ballistic Tips, just the groups open slightly, guessing factory ammo should be similar.
Cheers.
Same here. BTs, partitions & accubonds are all fantastic bullets
