I just recently bought a beautiful 1981 BAR in 7mm-Rem mag and wanted to know what people recommended for ammo. I am in Maine and hunt whitetail and hopefully will get my name pulled for the moose lottery (knock on wood).

most of the guys I know that own a 7mm mag BAR , say the 140-168 grain ammo is the most accurate.
several have mentioned federal and hornady ammo as being their choice

btw about every 200-250 cartridges change out the recoil buffer, and clean the gas system,
its not a big deal but its a big help in retaining accuracy and obviously clean the bore and action after each trip to the range

btw I picked up a BAR in caliber 270 win a few years ago , its one of the most accurate rifles Ive ever handled with 150 grain speer bullets,
54 grains of h4831 and a 215 fed primer
consistently under 1" off a good rest at 100 yards
