Federal Nosler Partition 160 grain is the best bullet for 7mm, drops elk deer no problem  :twocents:

This is what I landed on. 

If you're near kent/auburn, I will give you 5 rounds each of several types I have on hand. 

I've bought quite a few different loads to test, and would be happy to give you some of each. 
thats a very nice offer!

Hornady 154gr spitzer boat tails.  :tup:

Rifle shot one hole groups at 100yds and tipped over everything I hit with it.   No reason to try any thing different.

Sold it and now hunt with either a Roberts or Swede,  they both do the same as long as I do my job.

Thank you for the offer. Sorry for belated post. Your a good person. I don’t get down in the Kent Auburn area often. Maybe you could pay it forward to someone who needs them. It is also the best round IMO in .300 win mag Federal 180 gr Nosler Partitions.

160 gr Federal Premium Accubonds. Best 200 yard group so far was .41”, 162 ELDX’s were right at 1/2” along with 160 gr Partitions. I haven’t shot the 168’s but the way the Tikka has been shooting I haven’t needed to.

I have to throw my vote in for the Federal 160 Partitions.  Shoot great out my 700 it actually better than some of my rookie attempts at hand loads.  Last 3 Elk dropped in their tracks.  Hard to beat a proven performer.
