[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 976999, member: 48559"] I was seeing no more than 2875fps out of the factory 24" bbl on my 7mag, and made the decision to replace the tube with a 26 inch, 9 twist, 3 groove PacNor. Easily achieved 3050fps with Retumbo while breaking it in. Tried the 180 grain VLD when I couldn't find 168s, and was able to run 2905fps at about the same muzzle energy level. The heavier bullet grouped slightly better (shaved another half inch off the 300 yard group) and retains more energy at longer distances with less wind drift, so I stayed with it. [/QUOTE]
