[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 891063, member: 20355"] I'm using RL33 with 180gr bergers out of my 25" barreled 7mm Rem Mag, and I'm sending them at a confirmed 3105fps. I wouldn't bother using it with anything smaller than the 180s though, because with the 168s, I run out of case capacity and am only running them at 3030. Regardless, that's a hell of a lot of speed from a 180 and 25" barrel. You're right that sending MORE powder through a SHORTER barrel you may not get a complete powder burn, with those lighter bullets...but it works just fine with the heavies. [/QUOTE]
