[QUOTE="sharpshooterbr, post: 126058, member: 6295"] I talked to both Sierra and Nosler, and both of them informed me they do not have reloading data yet for different reasons. Sierra told me they would never have data for this round b/c of too many detonation problems. Nosler told me that they do not have it yet b/c the first batch of brass they got was bad, and now that they've gotten new brass, they haven't had time to work up any data. I've personally had my 7mm RUM since it was first introduced, and they did have a brass problem with the first runs of factory shells. I had several of these shells split upon firing. They split right in the web area, and the splits were about 1" long. After this, I went and purchased a bag of brand new brass, and several thereafter the first, and the problem has yet to make an encore. I talked to Remington about this problem, but they merely stated that they were not aware of any problem, and if I did in fact have a problem with the brass to send it in and they would replace it. I never wasted my time. So to make a long story short, there are no problems that I can see now, just pay attention to the MINIMUM charge listed b/c if you load to little powder in a case this overbore, it could present problems.
