[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 663308, member: 48043"] What's with the Bergers? I'd blow up my 26" 7mm rem mag trying to hit 3K with a 175 hornady. I've even gone to wc872 and it's only 2850fps with a rather stiff load. 70 is stiffer than hodgdon (68)with a 175, where did the retumbo data come from? Berger?? The 7mm mag is all over the map on data with heavier bullets. I looked at their data for a 175 in the old #26 manual(before Retumbo) and they show 72gr h1000 topped out, but the new yearly manual tops out at 64.5gr h1000 (LESS THAN THE OLD START CHARGE). This happens with other powders/manuals too. Data like that and I simply stay away. I have other rifles to push heavier lead with. [/QUOTE]
