Are you asking about bullets for loading your own ammunition or pre-loaded 7mm Mag ammunition?
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

My gun shot best with the Nosler Accubond Long Range 168 grain. 1/2" group at 100 yds.  Tried 5 different sets of ammo.

 My buddy same caliber but different make swears by the Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X 162 grain.

 Paper punching or hunting?

 Nosler RDF for paper and Partitions for hunting.

This will be out of the box loads. Just looking for a good load and brand to get started. I don’t want to waist lots of money chasing a good round for hunting

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.

My 700 loves  the Federal Premium 168g Berger out of the box. Did not like the 160g Barnes.  :twocents:

Nosler's 168gr ABLR factory ammo was very accurate in my Browning X Bolt 7mmRM

And has done the job on a number of animals with no issues.

I also tested the HSM Berger 168gr VLD factory ammo, it also did well.

 Hornady superformance 154gr sst is what my Montana Rifle Co 7mm mag likes the best. It will put bullets through the same hole at 100 and I have shot deer from 40-450 yards and dropped them all in their tracks.
