German223,

I have had pretty good results with 77 gr bullets in my 1:9 twist .223 12 FV even though they aren't supposed to stabilize in a 1:9 twist.
You should have no problem with 77 gr 0r 80 gr bullets in your 1:7 twist rifle.
Performance preferences for bullet and powder combinations seems to depend upon each particular barrel, at least in my experience.

My recent results have identified my best group size results with 73 grain Hornady ELD-Ms (average of 0.243 at 100 yds for groups shot with H4895, N140, N540 and Varget).
Varget averaged 0.216 (the best of all powder-bullet combinations), N540 averaged 0.238, H4895 averaged 0.264, and N140 averaged 0.260.
Berger 73 gr LTB bullets averaged 0.251 with Varget.

Nosler CC 77 gr bullets were the second best overall and best for 77 gr bullets with an average of 0.227 using IMR4166 powder. Good luck finding any IMR4166 since Canadian DOD bought up the entire IMR 4166 product for at least the near future.
Second best 77 gr bullets were SMKs averaging 0.243 with N540.
Berger OTM 77 gr bullets averaged 0.278 with 3 different powders with all three averages between 0.271 to 0.282. Varget averaged 0.271 and N540 was 0.275. N540 averaged 0.282.
Best 69 gr bullets were SMKs averaging 0.233 with Varget. N540 averaged 0.252.
Nosler CC 69 gr bullets averaged 0.258 with Varget.

The powders listed above are essentially the same as I use with my .308s and .22-250s. They are what I use with .223 bullets 60 grs and heavier.
For 45 to 55 gr bullets, I use N133 in my 223 rifles.
