    @Oeschi01 Welcome along.
    I have been using a 7mm rem mag for the last 18 months. basically a standard tikka with DPT. I have tried a few different factory rounds.
    The sako 165gr i found at 500 and closer it was going through animals. like both front shoulders AND it stopped coming into NZ for a long time. Mainly started using it too get brass. Wouldn't buy it again
    Hornady precision was ok but never shot past 400 when using it, so no experience at greater distance. Also has become impossible to buy.
    Currently running Hornady 162gr sst and more then happy with them so far but again not always available to buy.
    Never tried the fed blue box as never been in stock the last couple years.
    So Hornady is my choice of ammo.
    Worth taking to your local shop on what ammo they have been able to get or stock. Pain in the arse chasing ammo all over the country side.
