Used to shoot 160 Game Kings at everything, full load of RL-22, and on deer the far side usually looked....well, kinda missing. Looked like they'd been shot with a bazooka. Don't know what it is about a 7 Mag - seemed to create a lot more destruction than the .300 Mag I now use. If I had a single shot 7mm I wanted for long shots (don't know how accurate a T/C is for that purpose to be honest) I'd probably use a 168 Berger hunting bullet seated way out there and probably start with RL-19. Check out the "OCW" stuff at Practical Riflery's website - it can save you a lot of trial and error.
