I had good luck with the Federal Premium 150 grain BTSP in a couple 7mm's I owned. I harvested several whitetails with is and the load was accurate and shot fairly flat.

That's what I shoot right now- the 150gr Sierra GameKings. I've had really good luck with them. Harvested several elk and deer using them. They sure pack a punch, and they shoot nice and flat. I have my 7mm zeroed at 250 yards and I can hold dead on out to 300 yards on game animals. I hit about 2" high at 100 yards and about 3" low at 300 yards.

Well when it comes to accuracy each individual gun may like something different. But if you want something that would be fine for deer and also for moose or elk down the road then I would suggest Federal 160 grain Nosler partitions.

I've had fantastic results from Federal Premium 150gr. Nosler Balistic Tip on paper as well as on deer. At 100 yards, 5 shots typically show up as one ragged hole in the target. This is actually the only caliber/bullet combo that has dropped every deer I've shot with it in their tracks. It's like lightning hitting them.
I've also had very good accuracy result handloading 150gr. Nosler Partitions. VERY close to the same group sizes as the Balistic Tips, but much better penetration on some of the big wild hogs we have where I hunt.

I have currently been shooting 150GR remington core lokt out of my Savage 110. I would like some advice as to other more accurate choices.
ACCURACY is an idividual thing-what's best in my rifle may not be worth two hoots in yours. Unfortunately, the only way you can find out what works best is to shoot different ammo until you find a good load.......

160g Nosler Accubond. If they shoot as well for you as they do for me, you'll be set to hunt anything your 7mm is recommended for. Deer, Elk, Moose, and black bear, you're covered. Fed. Premium has always shot quite well for me as a factory load. Or handload if you do that, my handloads are right around 3,000 fps, Nosler reloading manual, if memory serves, 63.0 grains of RL-22 on top of a Fed. Gold Medal primer.
