Reloading 7mag for my Tikka & need bullet advice. I've used 140 &
175 Nosler Partitions & 140 Ballistic tips but not as accurate as it should be.

What are you planning on hunting?
Range you realistically expect to shoot game/targets?
Never had any luck with Bergers. Ballistic tips are my favorite for the 280 Remington. Deadly on white tails140gr bullets will work fine at that distance.
Though you might want to consider bullets in the 150-160gr class.
My go to bullets are the Ballistic Tip. Followed by the Berger VLD.

Thanks fellows for the infoIn the Tikkas I like 162 ELD-X. Used a lot of different bullets through the years, and all worked ok, but the Hornady above groups fantastic and it makes things die quickly near and far.
Have some Norma 165 Bondstrikes on order. No experience with them yet, but have had very good experience with Norma bullets in the past. Might be a better choice for elk and moose with a 7mm. Not that the 162 ELD-X has ever let me or anyone I know down.
