So I guess I have some work to do with a fairly narrow range of burning rates between the 2 powders. Should be an interesting Summer with the chrono.


I found exactly the same thing in my Norma with RL15 and 225 grainers. Big Game beats it by at least 200 fps.


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!
