[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 727847, member: 29890"] Winchester, Federal, or Norma brass 168vld .010" off the lands H4831sc use fed210M primer, start around 63.5grns and work up, pressure likely to be found around 68-68.5grns, if you get an ejector swipe back .5grns, that should put you at 3060fps +- 20fps. H1000 start at 68grns with fed215Ms and work up, probably top out around 73grns, again when you see the swipe back off .5grns this should give you 3130fps +-20fps. Retumbo use fed215Ms start at 69grns work up, probably top out around 74.5grns, may be compressed slightly, do the same as the others, if your rifle likes this bullet/powder combo you can safely and accurately run the 168s at almost or slightly over 3200fps, depends a lot on the barrel. The 7mm rm is a great round, not quite as peppy as the weatherby but, most of the 2.495-2.549 length belted mags run at 64-65k psi, for some reason saami decided the 7mm rm should only be 61k psi which makes it seem like a terd, and with factory ammo it is, but when loaded right it is very respectable.
