Default 7mmRemMag pet load?

I got a really good price on a Tikka M695 in 7mmRemMag. Found this nearly new rifle on AuctionArms. Appears to have been fired very little. Any pet loads to recommend?

I've been shooting a 700AS for over ten years now. I've tried alot of different loads thru mine and have settled on the 160 Nosler Partition being pushed with IMR 4895. Excellent groups off the bench and hits like a hammer. Never seemed to get anything else to group near as well, but that's my rifle. Tried loading the second gen 140 Nosler BT for deer. Bullets were blowing apart because of the velosity. Nosler ended up sending me a couple hundred third gen bullets to try but I just loaded them in the '08 instead. The 160 just seems to work best for me.

I have had the best luck with 140gr partitions or ballistic tips and r-22.

Please note that the 7mm Remington Magnum is one of those cartridges that have been emasculated by recently-published loading data. Much recent data places it firmly in the 7X57mm Mauser performance class!!

My two best loads for my 7 Mag., used in a 26" barrel Ruger No. 1B, and may be too hot for your rifle! In other words, approach them from at least 5% below, and with due caution, if you want to try them. Both these loads shoot into 1" @ 200 yards from my rifle:

(This particular group was shot using 68 grains of old N205 powder, but the accuracy results are comparable to the 7828 load. The MV of this load was 3070 FPS.)

A. 140-grain Nosler Partition/71.5 grains H4831/WW cases/Fed 210 primers. MV 3350 FPS This load really tears up a lot of meat if it hits wrong at close range!!

B. 175-grain Nosler partition/70 grains IMR 7828/WW cases/Fed 210 primers. MV 3050 FPS. This is my all-around load for all game from elk on up. I also use it for short-range deer hunting due to less meat damage.

What???? Where can I find out any more information about this? I have about 6 or 7 manuals that I have been loading this cartridge from over the years. Are they saying these loads are too hot now? The case capacity is way more than a 7mm Mauser.
