Here's what 69.5 grains got me:

I'm happy with this.

I shoot the 162 Amax from my 7wsm, similar BC and velocity. It's a hammer for a long, long ways.


Looks like you're set
 
I found that 70 or 71 grains of H-1000, with the Hornady 162 gr, BTSP gave me 1/5 moa. After shooting a couple of elk with that bullet , I was not happy with the performance, and used a similar load with the 160 AB.Those were not quite as accurate, but preformed better on game
 
Skip h1000 and try rl26. I shoot 162eldx with 68 gr and get 3130 fps in 26" bbl .
7"-5" groups at 1000 yards.
