I just got a Browning X-bolt 7mm WSM, and i am wondering if anyone else has one, and if they do, what loads do they use for it for elk hunting, i am thinking of using 160 grain but would i be able to use maybe even 140 grain if they were premium loads?

Have you shot it yet?
Which version did you get? stainless stalker? that's the model that caught my eye a little, it's on my short list.
Are you stuck with factory loads only? or handloads?
winchester 160gr accubond wouldn't be a bad load...
160gr barnes TSX federal

I have not shot it yet i will be picking it up this week when it arrives at my gun shop, and i got the composite stalker, it cost almost 300 dollars less than the stainless stalker, first i am planning on trying factory loads, the 2 you said are on a short list along with federal 160 grain trophy bonded tip and winchester 160 grain xp3, i am going to get my dad to reload some 154 grain interbond so i can see how that shoots since hornady does not make factory loads for the 7mm WSM
