140-160 gr mono's.
Barnes makes a 175gr TSX that requires a 9" twist. I can't imagine why I would need that bullet (I own a '06 and 300 H&H).
This gun would hunt whitetail to elk.

9” is pretty standard for all 7mm cartridges. 9.5” is also common. I would go with 9”.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

1-9 is fine but if your preferred barrel maker can do a 1-8, 1-8.5 or similar; that is what I would select.
