[QUOTE="thekubiaks, post: 1102857, member: 5784"] I have the following setup : 7mmRM w/28" Krieger Barrel (1-9). 70.0gr H1000 with Berger 180 Match VLD's, GM215M, .005" into lands. I got 2940fps at a density altitude of 1800ft as forecast by Quickload. Bolt is sticky and primers flattening, and some cases getting stuck. I will have to back off the powder and take another look at Retumbo. My last Retumbo tests showed too much ES but the H1000 has been single digit ES!! I really want the H1000 to work but I think the magnum primers plus the pressure spike at ignition from the bullet touching the lands is just too much pressure. I tried the Hybrid 180's but cant get them to shoot as well as the regular Berger 180 Match VLD's. I also shoot the Berger 180's in my 7mmSTW at around 3050fps and they are easily < 1/2MOA. I think the Bergers need to be at 3000+ to shine. Any recommendations on how to get my 7mmRM with 180 Bergers up to 3000fps? Or I may need to do something radial and change to another 7mm variant to get the speed?? Thanks [/QUOTE]
