Thanks,

The ammo was the Hornady Custom load, in 162 grain IIRC. It was one of the first loads I tried, and held around MOA, so I didn't fool with it.

I would also submit that finding a good performing factory load for your 7mm rifle is not difficult.

I don't think the 7mm is a great leap ahead of the 30-06 in elk land, and the difference is largely preference over an actual performance gap. YMMV.
