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

Are you asking about bullets for loading your own ammunition or pre-loaded 7mm Mag ammunition?
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
Try Federal Premiums

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.

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.

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.

160 hot cor
I've used hot cor bullets in almost every caliber I own ,it's like the poor man's corelock that just keeps on killing.

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.

140 gr. Remington Core-Lokt. For some reason, my rifle loves these, clover leafs at 100 yds consistently, more than accurate and flat enough to do what I need. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Shot Amazing. I love my new toy. I just need to get it out to the range a few more times and get some longer shooting in.

Well finally shot my new Christianson Mesa Long Range in 7mm mag. Topped it with a Vortex Viper LR 6x24 FFP. Shooting Federal Nosler Partition 160 Gr.

I agree. It puts them on the ground with good shot placement.

Partitions may not be the hair bun, paper puncher favorite, but for hunting they are money! :tup:

I shot the federal premium nosler 160 so far so good. I do want to try a box of those 162’s though.
