Is there a 'best choice' bullet for a 7mm. One that will survive transition to subsonic velocity and make hits beyond predictable?

Create a channel Learn moreI was advised these do not transition. Period. A 7mm thing the shooter thought.
I am not adverse to testing on my own but I feel it has been done, a lot. Would be nice to have some feedback here from 7 fans.
162 Amax .625 and you can gas them.. The only problem they seem to be a seasonal run
Also the Berger .617 168 grain VLD is ok but you need altitude or air density alt of about 4k if you looking for a mile or so

Where are you shooting ELR? Cuba? Your DA is a shame, my 162's dont transition till about 2,000 yards. Needless to say, its not a concern.
I guess I must not have hit submit on my earlier post. I use 168 and 180 gr. Berger and JLK VLD type bullets out of a 26" 1-8" twisted 7mm-08. I get 2700 fps on just about everything. Seems like the barrel has a speed limit. I also use 175 and 180 SMK's long distance. They transition pretty well with that tight twist. The 168 SMK's only do well at higher altitudes. I've not shot them in extreme cold but down to 32 F. they transitioned at 4000' ASL but not 2000'. They also slowed down a lot more than the VLD's anywhere past 1000 yds. Same with the 175 and 180 SMK's but not as bad.
