[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 163077, member: 1920"] Steve, I found my load data for the 180 Bergers in the 7MMWSM. I know the velocities seem rediculous, but these are the readings my crony was giving me.( it is a pact) These loads were developed in January. I don't believe I tested this load in the summer. My load for the 162's that I developed in Jan. were to hot for in the summer. I am quite confident that with a couple different powders and a 30" barrel 3000-3100 is very do-able. here is the info I copied and pasted from one of my previous posts. I should have my 32" Broughton 5C 1 in 8 twist spitten' 180gr. Bergers within two weeks. I will post those results. 308nate The best powder I have found for the 180 gr. bullet in the 7MMWSM is reloader #25, start with 65 grs and I worked my way up to 67.5 gr with no pressure signs. Muzzle velocity out of a 30" Krieger is 3,150 fps and accuracy is awesome Hogdon's retumbo would also be a good one, but in my experiance, which is not that extensive, retumbo did not like to be a compressed load as velocity spread increased drasticlly once the bullet started to compress the powder. FWIW, 308nate [/QUOTE]
