Default 7mm mag bullet

Hello, I was wondering what would be a good bullet weight for elk and accuracy. I was thinking 168gr or is that too heavy?

You will also find that the 175 grain will give best accuracy in some 7mm mags. They hit hard, and hold together well.

I think a 160 gr Accubond would be ideal.

I believe that all of the elk I have taken with a 7mm RM were with a 160 Nosler Partition. Good velocity, good accuracy, and good penetration.
