What do you think of a 160 grain Swift A-Frame load in a 7mm Rem Mag at about 2900 - 2950 fps for an Interior mountain Grizzly? I think it is quite adequate but looking for some feedback...

Good well placed bullets seem to work just fine. Personally I would like 250gr bullet and up, seems to mix big animals up better.

I think it would be a great choice. The 175 A-Frame driven fast would be another good one. The A-frame or the 175 partition would be my choices in the 7RM for Gbear.

Can't see why the 160 gr A Frame wouldn't work if you put it where it needs to go.....

160 gr A Frame will penetrate both shoulders of a gruzzly. Go for it

Perfect choice. A-Frames are tough, accurate, and give a good spanking when they hit.

Point one at any bears shoulder and it'll break it to pieces.

Swift A Frame is an awesome bullet, I wouldn't hesitate to hunt Grizzlies using a 160gr in a 7mm.

I shot a grizz with a 160gr Barnes out of a 7mm rem and never had an issue. If you are comfortable shooting it and keep your distances reasonable you wont have a problem.
