Rem. Model 7, 20". I'm not whining about getting 2950fps, but I'm curious if Big Game might do a little better without loss of accuracy.

3k out of a 22" for me. 2950 for a 20" sounds about right.

In my 22" M700, the usual powders including RL15 wouldn't get me velocity with the 120's. I maxed out at about 2900. Big Game got me 3050 with really nice accuracy.
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!

No need to apologise.
Thanks everyone for their help and input.
Really wish I could get a hold of Big Game down in Australia lol.
I will try the 120 grain ttsx and perhaps RL15.
Will update you with the progress.
