My hunting load. WW brass, 160gr accubond, CCI 250 primmer, 67.5gr IMR-7825, COL-3.40" for 3000FPS
Plinking load. WW brass,162gr A-Max, CCI-250primmer, 68gr of RL-22, COL-3.450" for 3000FPS
With a 100yard zero the accubond load uses 32.5MOA to get to 1000yards and the A-max load 31MOA

7mm RM fan for going on 30 years.
What's the gun make you bought?
My recipe that conveniently works very well in both the almost 30 yo Ruger M77 and the 2 yo Tikka. 20+ elk with the Ruger and 2 with the Tikka.
The only thing that has varied over the years is the primer choice and it hasn't made any noticeable difference.
Currently:
Either Rem or Win brass, I have both.
CCI 250 Primers
175gr Nosler Partitions
58.5gr IMR 4350 (yes disclaimer...the Nosler book says 58.0 max but I've found this is perfect in both guns).
A consistent 2925 fps.
Both guns are sub 1" at 200yds.

154 gr. Hornaday Interlock
63 gr IMR 4831
Federal Primers
I don't know what the FPS is but it is by far the most accurate load I've ever shot, 4 shots inside 1" at 200 yards. I'm shooting out of a Ruger M77 Mark 2. The bullets themselves leave a little to be desired so I plan on shooting 160 gr Nosler Partitions this next year.
