[QUOTE="HoytemanPA, post: 125677, member: 286"] Hey Rem_25-06, Watching your progression of the 7 RM. I have been working up a 9 1/2 twist 29" 7WSM this summer and although not exactly the same case, things look similar. I found 70gr H1000 at 3060 is where this one likes to run the 162 Amaxes and 67.5 H1000 at 2930 with the 175SMK. I had mixed results with the 180 Bergers similar to you with two in the same hole and one out at the lower charges. They topped out at a sticky bolt 2960 just as the groups were starting to shrink with 68gr H1000. They shot fair with 68 grains Retumbo at 2880 but opened if I went any higher. Overall in this case Retumbo was giving me mid 20s ES and the H1000 single digit. It looks like your RL22-162Amax load is a little light as to why it was so much slower than the Retumbo?? Your loads of 60.4 with the 175's and 68.5 with the 140's would in theory put you around 64 with the 162's? Just an observation, didn't see where you had gone higher than the 61. Anyhow good luck in finding the magical combination. Enjoy reading about somebody else with the LR disease. Fun ain't it! For the 25-06 load. I wouldn't give up on the Btips until I tried some H4831sc behind them! [/QUOTE]
