RE: 7mm rem mag factory ammo
Before I started reloading a few years ago, I always had good luck with Federal Premium ammo. Try the ones loaded with 160 gr. Nosler Partitions.
Just because your 7mm Mag. will reach out far - doesn't mean that you should try to shoot animals at long range. Stay within the parameters of distance in which you are FULLY competent to shoot. When I hunted Elk (also with a 7mm Mag.) I ALWAYS kept the range to 300 yds or less (preferably LESS).

I used to use Fed. Premium 165 gr and killed many deer. I decided to get into reloading and found how much more accuracy you get by reloading your own shells. If I had to go back I would get the Fed's though. JDinAB

RE: 7mm rem mag factory ammo
I agree with the previous posts. I use Fed Premium Ballistic Tip for whitetails and Nosler Partitions for larger game.
I got a better group with the Noslers but the Ballistic Tips shot a 1" at 100 meters and little more than 1 and a half at 200.
Advice: Don't go cheap on the ammo, buy the best you can.....
