My 7RM is 8 twist as I posted. I know what it'll do, even with 180's, and was curious about 10 twist with heavies..
4,000' elevation probably helps, but not sure how marginal 10 twist is with 175's. And, for sure the length of the bullet is a factor.

I'm about 650 ABS and have no troubles shooting 175 in My 7MM Bee and in cold weather also never had a problem even with the Barnes 175 TSX .
When Savage first came out with the Edge which later be came the Axis I bought one in 7mm08 for a beater to carry in the truck the first load i tried was a 140 Grn. B tip it was almost a one hole rifle also shot 145 Grn. Speers great I later found out it was 1:11.5 twist. I don't have a clue what savage was thinking when they made them but I'm glad they did that little salavge has shoot a lot of deer and won me a couple sides of beef as well.
