A 162gr bullet is fine for the 7mag, I use between a 140 and 160gr bullets out of mine. I have never used IMR4831, but have used H4831 and it shot good. I use RL22 out of mine now.

I use 62 grains of IMR4831 with 140g Nosler Ballistic Tips in my 7mm Rem Mag...which is a Remington 700 BDL (with a Remington Custom Shop Barrel on it)...it preforms well out to 250 yards...there is plenty of punch left to get well beyond 300, I've just shot it out beyond about 250.
