[QUOTE="Grizz25, post: 1077435, member: 83956"] Thanks Guys. I did a few loads from start 66 to 70.7grs. Gun shot best at 70.3. Only thing that surprised me was at 70grs the load was sligltly compressed and a 70.7 grs the load was very compressed and showed slight signs of pressure starting. And this is from a custom rifle with a long throat for the VLD bullets and are seated out farther than a factory rifle's chamber can be. But at 70.3grs and Fed mag primers, Win cases. The load shot on light side of 3/8in groups and the 26 in tube turned in 3125fps with only an 11 fps spread with no signs of pressure. AS a note as I have seen im really shocked to see people stating there getting 72 to 73 grs of retumbo in a 7mm mag case. @ 70.5 the powder is right into the bottom of the case neck not sure where there fitting an additional 1.5 to 2.5 grs of powder and a bullet. Again thanks for the info Rogmay & Corey [/QUOTE]
