[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 675617, member: 48043"] GOrdO you are probably pretty close on your quoted velocities. I've had three 7mm mags and all have been pretty close. 140's between 2900 and 3200 depending on powder; I4064 works well with a 140 also if you don't want quite as much speed, and rl22 will do 3200 fps easily with a 140 if you do want speed. A 150 between 3K and 3100 fps is about right for I7828. And a 160 grain at 2900 or so is good for that powder too. I really do not see the point of beating up a 7rem when an stw will do as well speed wise at start charges, so I don't push mine. I usually use it as a paper puncher, and the paper won't notice a few fps off the top. [/QUOTE]
