[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 372468, member: 4191"] I think you're methods and interim conclusions are on the money. I've been through the process and ended up with a good consistent load of 74.6 gr Retumbo in my 24 3/8" barrel. I get about 3050 fps MV with the 168gr Berger VLDs and Federal 210 primers. Not sure what you'd be getting for MV @ 70.5gr Retumbo. I don't have any recorded velocities at that low of a powder charge. I'd say you're close to a good consistent load at 74 gr. You'll probably hit max around 75 - 75.5 gr, but if you continue to move up in 0.5 grain increments you should be safe. I think Retumbo is about the best powder going for the 7mm Rem Mag with the 168 VLDs. [/QUOTE]
