Settle on a bullet/load yet?

Settle on a bullet/load yet?

I haven’t decided the combo yet.
Will use 168 Accubond Lr as I have multiple 1 shot kills on elk from 50-600 with very minimal meat loss.
Thinking of starting with H1000.
Most interested in accuracy and low ES/SD
(But if I can get that AND velocity, bonus)

Very familiar with 7RM. New to 7saum. Open to suggestions.

Will be using ADG brass / fed 215 mag primer

Available components.
168 ELD X & M
168 Berger classic hunter
195 EOL
168 Accubond Lr
150 Accubond Lr

VV N565
RL 26
H1000
Magpro
H4831SC

Input and rough recipes / velocities welcome.

Edit: 162 ELD X -M.

7 Sherman Max (7 SAUM improved) built by Kinport Peak Rifles
Defiance AnTi XM w/ Trigger Tech Primary
Defiance/Snowy Mountain BDL kit
26" CarbonSix barrel/MBM beast 3 port brake
Mesa Precision altitude stock
Nikon Black FX-1000 for now

Just fireformed all the brass and will be starting load development with H1000 and 180 Berger VLD next week. Will also eventually be having a 20" barrel spun up to sport a can, and then all exposed metal cerakoted.

Thanks for reminding me, I also have some 180 VLD to try.

Nice looking setup. I really wanted to go with the XM, but wasn't sure if i could make the inletting work.
Do you know what the max COAL that will fit in the mag & XM?

I believe it's 3.2". This rifle hasn't been the easiest to deal with due to the custom chambering, so depending on how it goes it may get punched out to a 7-300wsm. comfortable to shoot, but I CAN'T WAIT to get it muffled.
