[QUOTE="Ronin75, post: 2296541, member: 43370"] 9 minutes ago Well I'm starting to figure out why the low velocities. This rifle had a new hells canyon armory barrel installed and chambered in the same caliber( 7mm RM). Believing I could simply full length resize my old brass which was shot through the previous barrel , I quickly found pressure signs at even low velocities I settle on 68.5 grains of retumbo, which equaled 2800fps. The old brass was Nosler brass. I switched to new Nosler brass and have been able to increase my powder charge to 72.5 grains without any noticeable pressure signs . The next step is velocity test and work on the best seating dept. I'm very curious what the velocity will be at 72.5. Thanks for all the input [/QUOTE]
