Cant go wrong with partitions, accubonds , or Barnes.
You can get Hammers here too in a few select dealers.

Dad shot a few moose with a regular 7mm and 175 gr partitions in bear country.
I'd say the bear country question (for me) is one to consider as well.
If shooting a 7mm i'd likely shoot the 175 gr partitions

Boom done, next question

I've hunted moose in Canada many times and have seen plenty of them dropped with .308Win or 30-06, so you can't go wrong with any hunting bullet in your 7mag. IMO, the 175gr Partition would be about as good as it gets providing that you can find an accurate load.

Remember, sometimes the only shot opportunity that you may get will be at some distance. A 300yd-400yd shot isn't uncommon up there. The largest bull that I have taken in Newfoundland was first spotted at just over 1,000yds. It was on a rock covered mountain top and was called into shooting range.

I'll also say the 175 NP or 175 Trophy Bonded Bear Claw are two great options.

I have quite a few 160 and 175 BBC's and they're the gold standard of butt kicking

This is what I consider to be an appropriate answer for your friend. He/she will need an accurate load and lots of practice shooting accurately from field positions. Always try for the closer shot for more confidence.

Be sure to look at the Hammer Hunter 169 gr. solids. They have been both accurate and consistent with my loads.

For my personal 7mm magnum (Not Weatherby mag), the 160 Nosler Partition is one of the most accurate bullets it shoots. That's plenty for moose even tho the 175 may be a better option. As said, shoot what hits where you have the crosshairs.

BBC are the gold standard for everything

That's the case for sure! Utterly amazing what they made so many moons ago (in some cases)

175gr Partitions at about 2950fps.

What are "BBC's" ? What company manufactures them ?

I am not familiar with that name / acronym .
