Mine and my friends both shot vhita vohri n560 really well. 168 bergers. 2930 67 grains.  Yes that's 3 over book max so don't start that high.  These were factory sako 7mm mag.  But I shot n560 really well from 65 on up.  If you go the Berger route, look up the article "getting bergers to shoot well"

I load a 160gr Accubond with IMR 4831. Its a nice combo. I followed the recipe right out of the Nosler manual.

7mm Remington Magnum

Hornady 162 grain Interlock BTSP
63 grain IMR 4831
CCI #250 large rifle primers

This is a compressed load so work up load from safe starting point.

The 162 grain Hornadys are lead spire points that get beat up a little bit after loading and unloading in your rifle a few times. This might bother some guys, doesn't seem to effect accuracy.

Killer load in my Remington 700 BDL. 7mm Magnum.
