Welcome to the weird world of the 7mm Rem Magnum. I have one and would never get another due to the unpredictabilty of their loadings. With 175 gr. bullets in my gun I have to use about 4.5 grains over the max. book load in order to get an acceptable level of velocity (but not the maximum the cartridge is supposed to be capable of.)
Nothing wrong with the 7mm rem mag, it's just the loading data out there for it is junk. It's been dicked with so much over the years that most of it is so watered down as to be useless.
I think you maybe right..
Seems like no one is getting the published velocities unless they go over book max.
Well before I run out and buy RL25,
Does anyone have any good velocities with IMR 4831?
