For rifles chambered in 7mm cartridges this bullet has the heavy double-tapered Sierra jacket for hunting.. The #1905 bullet is recommended for all 7mm cartridges. It is an excellent choice as a lighter bullet in any of the 7mm magnum cartridges for use at medium to long ranges.

In handguns the 140 grain #1905 is considered too "tough" for smaller cartridges such as the 7mm TCU and 7mm BR. However this bullet is seeing much use in the Remington XP-100 chambered for the 7mm-08 Remington or in similar cartridge/handgun combinations for both target shooting and hunting applications. This bullet is a good choice when driven at 2500 fps or more for medium or large game at typical handgun ranges. Using this bullet for hunting is limited to muzzle velocities achievable with only a select few cartridge and handgun combinations but no such restrictions apply to target use. This bullet can be used in all 7mm cartridges for target shooting.
