7mm rem. Best factory ammo for elk??

[matachango]

So what's the best factory ammo for a 7mm when hunting Elk?? I have the cheap federal 150gr. and they shoot pretty accurate out of my TC Venture. But I am wondering if a heavier bullet woudl be better.

Thanks.

Get something with a 160 partition and go a hunting.

What exactly does partition in a bullet mean? Thanks.

Something that shoots well in your rifle.

Federal premiums with 160 gr partions were always accurate when I shot factory.

Barnes TSX, Nosler Partitions, Accubonds or E-Tips, Swift A-Frame, Hornaday Interbond or GMX.

Any and all of these will serve you well on Elk. Pick 2 of the above bullets, buy one box of each, and use the most accurate one.

I've killed several Elk with 160 grain Partitions in my 7MM Mag. Always worked perfectly. I shoot Partitions in several calibers and they've always been accurate; unlike Barnes products.

I've yet to find a rifle and Barnes combo that dosen't shoot well.

Nor have I.

Hornady Custom 154g Sp works very well.

Remmy 175 grain Core-Lokt has always performed for me on big meat factories and is a very economical round.
