The rifle was up for sale. No takers, so i kept shooting.

I had the Smith rebed her, and switched to the berger hybrids, 71 gr of Retumbo at roughly 2950 . I have not ran this load over a chronograph, but that's what the long range accubond was at, and my turrets match up at 400-600.

Was interested in the 7LRM but seems performance is questionable. My Rem 700 7mm Rem mag sends 180 bergers out at 2860 . 68 grains of Ramshot mag and Fed 215 mag primers. 90 fps is not much to concern oneself with. Just saying. Still would like to hear about future load development to see if it offers more of a good thing.

Sidepass,

If one was to truly lean on the cartridge, run pressures to maximum potential, mess with �ber slow powders (RL 33 & 50, US 869, H50BMG), I would imagine 3100-3200 would be obtainable without to much issue. I am perfectly fine and happy @~ 3000, so I have no desire to push the brass life, barrel life, recoil etc to the extreme.

Plus, I like showing people the loaded rounds (nothing super impressive about it, not much longer than my 300 wsm rounds) and seeing the looks on their faces when I say that is a .674 BC, 180 gr bullet at 3000 fps.

Thanks for explaining your take on it. I don't hot rod my 7mm Rem mag most of the time my 180 Berger load is the exception. It is very accurate in MY rifle with out signs of pressure. Merry Christmas .
