Luck with that, lookin' for a report. 3.33" makes me grin. Loaded the .300 Roy at 3.6" as I recall. Guessin' that Mouser round looks like a torpedo is hangin' out the front end?

There was a thread here a few days ago about running the 7 at "modern" pressure levels, don't know if you saw that. Most published data for the round peaks around 40-45 kpsi. Mild...lots of wiggle room there. My guess is that a powder a wee bit faster than RL22 will do well, if only because the case capacity is limited. Regardless, that load you already ran is a good reference and will whack most anything, here or in Africa.

I am..........disturbed.
