in general, best 7mm rem mag factory ammo? vs 6.5 saum vs 338

[rockwind1]

generally acknowledged best factory 7 rem mag ammo for bull elk?

there is pretty much no way i am going to be stretching out past 500-600 and i am not going to be shooting across any canyons. getting older, so plan on shooting first halfway decent bull i see which i can pretty much drive to within a few hundred yards

hopefully this doesn't attract the usual "what, are you an idiot?" responses. yes, i reload, fairly competently but the summer is booked and i have a decent bull tag for once but not into spending days resetting up my reloading stuff for it, i have a decent 180 gr berger hybrid load., nosler brass, h1000 but heavy sigh at cranking some out.

i do have some factory winchester ballistic silver tip ammo which shoots darn good out of it but is only 150 gr but reviews are not good on it so it is probably out of the running already

my 7 rem mag is a custom with a 1:9 twist, sporter barrel. running a tbac suppressor on it.

other choices i could shoot with

6.5 saum with 143 gr smk,,, also no time to use figure out reloading for lastest greatest elr bullets

or a 338 AI, which i will just be shooting regular 338 lapua ammo thru with 300 gr berger hybrids, or maybe 250's.

if any super smart types need further data, feel free to pm. cross-posted also

Nosler trophy grade accubond is all I shoot out of my 7mag.

are you reloading it?

160 grain nosler accubond, Ive used both nosler trophy grade as well as federal premium and have had great accuracy and no issues taking down animals.

i've been looking thru all my stash and don't think i have any accubonds

If you have a 338L why are you taking anything else except maybe for a backup?

see what groups. i run 139 barnes lrx and fed prem barnes 160 tsx and both group well. my cousin runs accubonds I think in his 7mag.

If I had to buy factory ammo I would probably get the nobler custom stuff with the Accubond bullets. I haven't used it but some friends have and had great results.

For what it’s worth my gun likes Federal’s 175 fusion, 168 Berger load & the 165 SGK way better than it likes the more expensive loads.

Several shoot well enough out of my 7, but the most accurate out of mine is the Federal Fusion hands down
