I'm a 7mm freak, so great choice on the caliber. We have so many 7's in the family/group, my friends call us the "7mm club". Our group has killed 100's of Elk and Mule Deer over the years and we all use the same handload (20+ years and going strong).

Anyway, with all that said, I personally think that a 160 gr bullet for the 7mm mag is best around. I personally shoot Nosler AB's & Partitions and Hornady Interbonds out of mine. All perform beautifully. Grew up on Speer boat tails with the same results, I just prefer the newer technology from the bonded bullets. The 160 gives you everything you need, energy, yet generally flat.
