Running ours at 72 grains of Retumbo. Still need to chrono but great accuracy.
Running 71 grains and touching the lands out of a factory remington barrel, it is going 2940 ft/sec.
Full charge H-1000, WW case, Fed 215M seated .005" off the lands. Under .5" with my Sendero SFII.
+1 horseman. My load is 69gr h1000 fed 215m loaded .010 off lands. 2920 average.

That's my load also... actually had to bump it up to 72.0 grains when I broke into a new 8lb jug of Retumbo with a different lot # - runs right at 3075fps in my 26" Benchmark tube:

That load seems to shoot okay wink
My 7mmRM load-

Win brass
168 Berger VLD .010" in the lands
71.5 of Retumbo
Fed215M

In my Browning High-Power, 71.0 grains of Retumbo gets right around 3000 with very fine accuracy.

I did clock the load in an Ohler 35P, velocity in my 26" rem 700 was 3100 fps, at 70*.

Work up that load in your rifle.
I use retumbo as well and get good results. My load is 70 grns with cci 250 in ww brass
