Default Favorite 7mm. Rem. Mag. hunting loads.....

So I've got about 3 more months until my rifles is finished at Hill Country Rifles.

Just wondering are your favorite hunting loads for deer/elk/black bear/hogs/ect.

I don't think it's going to matter much what load I use for whitetail deer as long as it winds up in the boiler room.
I'm thinking a 160gr. Nosler Accubond or Partition if the larger animals come into play.

I was kinda' even thinking about a 140gr. Partition for deer. Seems like the bullet design would still open up fast on a smaller animal and retain it's rear core should it find scapula or spine.

Any thoughts? What's your favorite?

if there is a chance of a high speed impact, I always opt for the accubond.
and I always liked H4831.

160gr Nosler Partitions is my go to load. I'm still playing with accubonds, but, I know how well partitions work. 160 will work for about everything and be a little flatter then 175gr. For moose and big bears, I would be inclined to try 175s. Ive been playing with Retumbo, but havent found the sweet spot yet,

I load 160gr Nosler Accubonds using 4831SC. Don't have my throw weights handy as I'm at work.

I've become fond of the 154gr SST as a do-all. They're priced reasonably, and with a bit of tinkering with COL and charge, shoot with the best in my factory savage. I run them with RL22 and cci250s.

If it were me I would probably load up some 150gr Tipped TSX's and use it for everything. If those wouldn't shoot my next choice would be a 160gr AB for everything.

If it was me, I'd work up a good load for 160 gr Accubonds like the poster above said. And use that 1 load on everything. I went to the 1 pet load per rifle years ago. That way when you hunt with that particular rifle it's a LOT easier to memorize the trajectory.
