Does anyone still make a 7mm 120 or 139gr FP?

Cutting Edge makes a couple, they are lead free and PRICEY. Midway has em.

If lead is no issue, buy some low cost lead tipped ones, get a Harbor Freight metal cutoff saw, (mini) for about $17. They work great.

One tip, is make sure the bullets have a cannelure in the correct location, after cutting, so you can crimp them in.

I give an example on my web page, about doing this for my 375 Win.

I had a rather decent supple of the Hornady 139 FP , the Nosler 120 FP and the Sierra 120 FP a year or two back when I was contemplating building a 7-30 Waters on a Marlin 336 . Think i had 1000+ of all three bullets .

But sorry to say it's all gone now

130 grain speer is the only one I know of that is still made.

It appears that the speer has been discontinued too.

I believe if you keep your eyes open on the Graff's website they sell the Sierra over runs of the 7mm 120 grain FP that Federal uses in the factory loaded ammo . Seems to me Graff's was the place I got two 500 boxes of the Sierra 7mm 120 FP . And if memory serves they were about $60-65 a box of 500 .

Thanks guys, I never though to check component availability before buying the rifle.

There's always a cast 7mm FP GC bullet !

Seems to me Saeco makes a pretty decent 130 or 140 grain GC mold .

Those 1,100 or 1,200 Hornady 7mm 139 grain FP's outta last you for the duration !

I got them from a little gunshop in Dickson City PA .
Also got 1,000 or so of the Nosler 7mm 120 grain FP's from another gunshop a little north of Harrisburg . Seems to me that guy had several thousand of the Noslers when I bought the 1,000 from him !
