ADG or Peterson brass
Fed GM215M or CCI250 primer
H1000 or N565 powder
175 Elite or 180 Hyb

For what bullet and weight?
Right on sounds good thank you that's kind of what I had in mind is Peterson brass, h1000 and the 175. So many options. Is this what you are are running and if so how is it performing for you
Just a overall load. Brass powder primer and projectile. Sorry should have clarified that in my post. Trying to get the best loads possible and run 3 different ones and stick with the best
Since you are not opposed to Berger bullets, I'd go with what @lancetkenyon recommended.
Right on thank you.

I have loaded for 18 (I think) different 7PRCs to date.
Mostly using Peterson brass, only a couple with ADG.
H1000 and N565 are my two go-to with a 175-180. If I step up to a 195, N570 works well too. A few with N568 also.
Those combos have been fantastic.

I'd be for making life easy and go with an eager to please bullet like the 150 NBT, couple that with any number of powders. My first choice of powder would be 7828, followed by (in no particular order) H1000, H4831, R22.
The 160 Sierra HPBT is another overly eager to please bullet as is the 162 ELD-M
If you use one of those loads you'll find out quickly if your set up has any IQ or not.
Once you've established that all is well with your set up then you could move onto other territory:)

What game will you be using it for on a yearly basis, as well how far out do you practice to on a consistent basis?

Lance is right on, as usual. I use N565, CCI 250, and 180 Berger Hybrids. Right now Hornady brass, but switching to Peterson.
My Tikka loves N565 and the 175 EH's. Super accurate, and I've never had anything but good with Berger bullets. I know some folks don't like them, but when you put one in the boiler room there's not looking for your critter, at least up to elk sized game. Probably wouldn't' shoot a brown bear with one, but I'm probably never going to shoot a brown bear period.
Right on Lance. Thank you for the great input. Much appreciated
