Also just bought some Hammers and CE bullets. Next step will be seeing if my gun has any favorites.
Thanks to everyone for all the help.

I am using the HH 146 in my 7mm Wby Accumark, and Dad uses the 150 TTSX in his 7mm Wby. If you want to go a bit heavier they will work very well with your 7mm RM and current twist.
I have a faster twist 7mm Wby that will use the 169HH if I ever get around to finishing that rifle.
Gday I've been trying to stay away from conflict but I can't stand by & potentially see a critter be potentially lost & while I will state I will say the following is a little theory based which I don't like but I have the facts to base it with a little certainty but I will accept if I'm wrong & apologise wholeheartedly
I note this post by frank
& here goes the theory as I have not shot the 117 in 7rm
So here goes on my theories the afterburner have a velocity limit & while I can't say the exact number as that would require a lot more work I can vouch the pills under high resistance & high velocity fail & if we look @ potentially what the RM should be able to push this pill @ it will past the velocity of consistency & a high probability of failure & the critter more likely to do this is a elk & while if we hit in the crease it will kill you do the pin of the shoulder quartering to you @say 30/70yard your into a bingo raffle ( I would need actual velocity to work out ranges & im theory on elk as substituting for hybrids I've shot & other like critters )
I would stay with your thoughts originally franko21 & shoot what pill you want & if you can guarantee you'll stay off bone in a elk go for the afterburner but if it's that way you go don't search for top velocity as then you'll potentially be safe
I think it's better if I start a new thread as I think it would be better than derailing this thread
Just bare with me we have got major floods in Tassie & I've got animals to put down & infrastructure to fix while helping some other people out
No proof read & please I mean no malice just trying to stop a potentially bad outcome
Cheers

& I agree the 117 afterburner is to light so if mark takes the following to heart so be it or he can learn & make adjustments the choice is his
