Keith, my 7mm WBY is a re- barreled 700 with a Dan Lilja 26" fluted SS barrel. It is a fantastic shooter and my favorite hunting loads are with 160 and 175gr Nosler Partitions loaded long (3.400") due to the standard cut Weatherby free bore.
Favorite powders are MRP, RL-25, H1000 and Retumbo, but get excellent results with IMR 7828 as well. I know, some of those aren't known as being very temp stable, but my rifle either doesn't know that or just doesn't care. 160's at 3220 or 175's at 3110 both work equally out to 600-700 yes and ethically, that's where I stop when hunting. It is capable of more distance of course if I am shooting steel or such and I use bullets designed for that then. I have a fair amount of experience with the 160 Accubond in this and other fast cartridges on game, and I must say that I am not impressed overall. Great bullet till you hit big bone......then it flat sucks.Just my experience, enjoy the 7mm WBY!
