Have a new to me Remington 700 BDL stainless scoped up and ready to shoot. Got a wild hair to give the 160gr Partitions a go in this one. Anyone care to share some pet loads for this combo? I have on hand RL26, H1000 and IMR's 4831, 4350, 7828. Have some other options but these seem to be best fitted for the job. Thanks for the info!

IMO, RL-26 is the champ with the 160 gr. in the 7RM.

A match made in heaven. A true “ mouse to moose” load. Looks like you’ve got your options covered, even with the glaring omission of H4831. Not much one couldn’t do with that rifle/cartridge/bullet combo.

Re-26 and 180 ELD Smooches. Hint……….. Haven’t tried those. Have a Brux 8 twist 7RM; that should be a good combo. DF

Big Green OEM 7mm RemMags stabilize them nicely,at low tide in Winter. Though I have more than a few 8’s too,which grant .838 BC Beer Cans. Hint………………

I've had good results on elk with the 160 Partition in a NULA chambered in 7x61 Sharpe & Hart. While loading data varies a little from the 7mm Remington Magnum, ballistically the cartridges are almost identical. However, I've had three barrels on my rifle. The first two were very accurate with the 160 Partition. The most recent barrel doesn't shoot this bullet with the same degree of accuracy the others were capable of, but I've found this to be pretty common with other barrels and Partitions.
A Sendero in 7mm Remington Magnum is reasonably accurate with the 160 Partition; fine for hunting, but other bullets are more accurate. Still, Partitions are always worth trying.

If I’m going to shoot .450 BC’s,it’s going to be in .224” not .284”. Hint…………..

Excellent elk round Imr 4831 62.5 gr large rifle mag primers gives me approx 3023 fps and under half inch groups.

I have used the 160-grain NP in the 7RM a lot. It just plain works. I've mainly used IMR7828. My suggestion is to start with about 63 grains of it. Add powder until you reach 3000fps then stop. However, I agree that in today's world, the way to go is using high BC bullets.

When I was lugging a 7MM RM around all it got were 160 Partitions and R22. Every bit as good as my 30-06 with 180 grain Partitions.

I load 140’s, only shoot deer and pigs, sometimes an Aoudad. Max I can see is 300 yards. They have always done well in my 7 mags

Around 69.3 of H1000 shoots 160 partitions very well in my 26” 700; ~3k fps.

About 70 gr of H1000 will do.
