7mm WSM?

[Alaska]

Putting a Win 70 rifle together and reloading components for the 7mm WSM.

Plan on using 168gr and 175gr bullets.

Any suggestions on loads?

I've never used 168 or 175 grain bullets in my Model 70 7 mm WSM. I would think they intrude into the case excessively. However, I've had excellent success with Nosler 160 g. AB and 69 g. of MagPro (sub MOA groups and excellent velocity), Nosler 160 g. PT and IMR 7828 (tiny, itty bitty groups and excellent velocities), and with Sierra 160 g. HPBT and MagPro (sub MOA groups and excellent velocity). I would not hesitate to tackle moose or elk with any of these loads (and have done so). Moreover, all are excellent deer/black bear loads.

I plan on using 168 Berger VLD hunting
bullets and 175gr Sierra GK in the 7mm WSM.

Champion shooter on 1k match suggested RL25 at 66.0 with 180 Berger VLD for 3000 FPS. Norma 7mm/300 WSM necked down and Fed 215GM primers

I plan on using H4831SC @ 63.0 with the 168gr VLD Beger Hunting bullets.
