Every 7 Rem Mag that I've had was throated to allpe a 160 NPT to be seated to the base of the neck, hence essentially 7 Wby velocities via a little more powder capacity.
RL22, 25 & 26 almost always give best velocities & usually good/ best accuracy, IME.
7828 is about next on the list.

Reloader 25 has always been the good magic powder for all of my 7mm Rem mag. loads. However, Scheels in Great Falls had StaBALL HD for $37. xx/lb, and I bought 3lbs to try to duplicate the performance of my R-25 loads.
The StaBALL HD is touted as being temperature insensitive, to have a copper fouling reducing ingredient, will provide good load density in the 7mm mag case and is Available, so I am going to try it.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

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. I could never get PT’s to shoot in anything I tried. And, I tried a lot.
....and another generation rose up after them who did not know the Lord, nor even the work which He had done for Israel.
