I'm finishing up my latest 7mm Rem Mag build, it's a Rem 700, 26in 1-8twist barrel. Has anyone used this bullet with good success in a Rem Mag?

I use it in a 7mm stw remington sendero with great success, and the 162gr in my 7mm rem mag remington long range. Great bullet.
The bullet is accurate in my 7mms. No reason it shouldn't be in yours.
7mm rem mag 1-9 twist 175 ELD-X 66.2 grs RL25 tried 162 ELD-X just couldn't find accuracy I was looking for will keep on trying but at the time i was getting ready for hunting and settled on the 175's, with good accuracy. Running about 2930 fps. I wish it was a bonded bullet, core and jacket separation on an antelope @ 413 yds quartering to me went in right front found jacket in front of left rear. Did not take a step fell in his tracks , I probably shouldn't complain.

This is exactly what I'm looking for, I was wondering if 2950 was achievable

Personally, I am not a fan of Hornady Bullets, but have found that they do the job if large bones aren't hit.
I also found that the 168gr Bullets performed better out of my STW and RM with 9.25" twist.
Cheers.

Be careful with this if not using Norma brass, it has more capacity than any other brand.
Cheers.
