Favorite 7mm WSM Loads?

[AZ Wildcat]

For those of you who have been loading for 7MM WSM, what are your favorite loads? I'm particularly interested in loads for 168 Bergers, 162 ELD-Xs and 160 GR AccuBonds, but if you have something else you're happy with I'd love to hear about that too.

I shoot the 168 vld in one of my 7 wsm's ,I shoot 68.5 grains of Rl25 , cci250 primer it shoots 3085 and is a regular .250 moa shooter I can shoot in the .1s every now and then lol if i do my part, that rifle is throated for that bullet with .168 FB and it likes the bullet jammed .005

Thanks TwoMore, that is really helpful. You must be thrilled with that! I won't get that kind of accuracy out of my rifle but if I can get a 160+ gr bullet going about 3,100 fps at 0.75-1 MOA I'd be pretty happy.

that barrel is a 28 inch 4 groove Krieger, I also have ran h1000 thru it and it shot great to.I used 69 grains same primer. I did ladder test both powders thru it and it ran up over 3100 pretty easy but seemed to hit the node right around 3070 to 3090 where it one holed so that is where i run it.
Good luck

I am using RL26 with 180 Berger VLDs. With 67.6 I'm getting 3048. It's sub.5 moa if I do my part. I am using 215 primers.

I run 67.5 grains of H1000 with a 175 ABLR at about 3" c.o.l. In my long throated custom. 27" barrel runs 3010 fps with an es of 9. If I was starting over I would look into RL-26... its magic in my 7 RM, 300WSM, and 6.5 CM. Fast, low ES, and accurate.

69grs of H1000 produces 3150 out of 26"Brux 162 gr Amax and 160gr Sierra TMK .

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm going to play around with a few different loads over the next few weeks, if I find something I'm really happy with I'll post it up for posterity's sake.

25" Brux
65g Norma MRP, 168 Berger, WLRM, 3,095 fps.
I would use RL26 if I was starting over...
