I think so too. I'm putting together another 7wby right now, and considered going with a bigger hull..But after arguing with myself over it, I really dont want to drive that bullet faster. I think i'm where I need to be FPS wise,and too fast if anything.


If I always planned on 500+ yard encounters then yeah, more speed would be OK, but i dont go lookin for a long shot, so I really think between 2800-3000 is a nice place to be with that bullet as a starting velocity.

Maybe when/if berger comes out with their 195gr 7mm, i'll consider a bigger power plant.Prolly should have twisted this new one in anticipation of that bullet, but I found a 9 twist bartlien sittin on a shelf and couldnt pass it up, long lead time for those bbls these days.
