In my 22 1/2", 8 twist rifle using WW brass, CCI400's and sans moly I got the following:

25.5 = 2970 fps
26.0 = 3020 fps and stupid small groups, as in 0.4" or so at 100 yards.
26.5 = 3090 fps but groups were a bit larger and pressures had to be getting up.

With the 26.0 grain load, primer pockets lasted forever so I called it load complete. That load, in your rifle, may of course blow your ass up so be sure to work up! grin


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
