[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 268300, member: 4191"] I've got two factory Tikka T3 7RMs. I shot one 0.36 moa 3-shot group at 990 yds with the one using Berger 168 VLDs using 74.9 gr Hodgdon Retumbo, Federal 210 primers, @ a muzzle velocity of 3080 fps out of the 24 3/8" barrel. This is a plain-Jane stock factory Tikka. [U]Maximum[/U] loads. This rifle will pretty consistently shoot 1/2 moa and better using this load. So it must be a stretch to say that the 7mm RM can't perform at maximum loads. Both rifles easily hold 0.75 moa or less using maximum loads & Nosler 160 gr Ballistic Tips. These are the only two 7mm RM's I've ever owned or fired. But we've got two other members voicing some concern - and I can't say with certainty that their rule of thumb is incorrect. [/QUOTE]
