Thanks in advance.

160gr Federal Trophy Bonded Tip

 

[6mm Remington]

160 gr. Accubond or Partition in a factory load if you do not hand-load, or a 140 gr. E-tip.

160 grain accubond. Federal is good, nosler trophy grade is a little better.

The 160 gr Accubond sounds nice, but my 7mm RM (also a M70) loves the Hornady 139 gr GMX bullets. Wouldn't have any issue using that on elk or deer.

Anything made by Federal...

For factory ammo I'd suggest Federal with either 160 grain Nosler Partition or Accubond. Terminal performance is good at different velocities and critter sizes plus both shoot well in my Rem 700 and Savage 116.

I wouldn't hesitate to try the Federal Fusions if your rifle likes them. My experience other calibers leads me to believe that they would perform well in 7mm.

Whatever your rifle shoots best. What other people shoot means little. There’s no real shortcut to this. You’ve just got try several different brands and weights to find what works best in your gun.

excellent choice in rifle and caliber, btw!

Not a Winchester but my Tikka T3 SL loves the Barnes 160 grain TSX.

This what I have learned about ammo also. Just wondering and reaching out. I have stepped up my game in the rifle world. Shot a savage .270 $550 package deal ( gun,scope)sense 2008...I have killed 13 big game animals with it. Time to put on my big boy britches.
