JMR - I don't remember exactly how many 7 RM I've had but several plus 2 that friends had.

I/we could get 3100 fps with 160s w/o dangers.

MAYBE you had a slow barrell? I've seen 1 of those a friend had, a popular brand, SLOW, wouldn't beat a 270 W.

MAYBE you had a slow lot of powder? That happens frequently.

Maybe some other problem. I guarantee you, your results are not typical..
