Boattail: With those bullet weights I would personally reach for the 7828 first.Because 7RM's can vary a good deal in throats, barrels etc,I would suggest you start with published minimums for the bullet and work up,watching the chrongraph and pressures as you proceed.Once I hit about 3000 fps with the 162 gr bullet,I would call it good.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I use IMR 7828 with the 160gr. Accubond but my 7mag likes RL-22 better with the 162gr A-max.
You should be able to get 3000FPS with IMR-7828 and the 160gr A-max.

Check this site, lots of great info: http://www.centerfirecentral.com/viewer.htmlAlso, get yourself a Nosler Reloading manual. They will list the most accurate charge with a particular bullet weight for every powder listed and the most accurate powder they tried. It has amazed me at how many times my "most accurate load" was within 1.0g of their's.

BT,
I've had the best results by using 4831 for bullets of 150 grns. or less, and 7828 for the 160-175's.

7828 is the way I'd go first

I'd try 7828 first with both bullets. Next, I'd go buy some Re 22, work up to 65.0 grains with the 160. Live happily ever after.
