[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 928435, member: 68226"] I have loaded the 7mm rem mag with vey hot loads and special barrels with coated bullets in a 28 in tube up to 3175 fps. Barrel has to be nitride, Bullets need to be hex coated. The barrel is a 28 in Broughton 5c. These barrels are known to be faster than others. Retumbo is the go to powder with a Win Mag primer. Load in to the mid 70 grain area. Work up very cautiously. I really want to see what Vitavori n570 will do. I think it will do even more! Can any one run the quickload program on this? I might add the coal is 3.52. This too makes a big difference, on usable case capacity and pressures, hence the velocity. No doubt the Berger has revolutionized the 30 cal bullet for great B.C. I am a fan of the 7mm cartridge as people can tell. I have even bantered with the guys from Montana. But the real truth the frontal diameter of the 30 cal is more effective and over comes the sectional density of the 7mm combined with the new B.C. designs. WHAT EVER YOU DO DONT TELL BROZ I SAID THIS.. I really like to argue with him. But I would buy him a beer anytime. He is a very knowledgeable guy. At the end of the day not much compares to the 338 cal. [/QUOTE]
