I just got a model 700, with a 26 inch barrel. I was wondering if anyone has one, and if so, what factory loads shoot the best? Thanks for any info it will all be very appreciated.

Had a stainless Rem700 with a Vais Arms brake for a couple years, never shot any big game with it but it sure smoked its share of RockChucks. It was super accurate with 160gr Accubonds and RL-25. Also shot the 150 BT's well with IMR 7828. My charge was slightly over the Nosler books max but I was getting 3400 and a little change out of the 150's. Makes for some spectacular hits on Chucks. I just seated them to mag length.

Great cartridge, nothing like swinging the biggest, baddest, non-proprietary 7mm on the planet.
Straight from the Nosler book.
SCHWIIIIIIING!!!

And with a Brake, recoil is a pleasure. One smooth shooting power house.

Where did you get the break on yours? How much was it installed? If you don't mind me asking?

I would focus on the heavier bullets in factory loads. That case works best with the 150, 160, and 175 grain bullets. the 160gr Accubond loads look like they would be ideal.
I played with one in a Savage Striker for a little while. It was a little over bore for the 19" barrel.
