[QUOTE="demented, post: 415582, member: 21609"] The barrel is 26" plus the Boss, probably close to 30" all told. My reason for posting is that 2900 fps really seems slow for any cartridge with MAGNUM in its moniker. Heck, I'm getting 2825 with a .308, 150gr. bullets, 22" barrel. That I'm topping out at 2900 with this 7mm using 30% more powder than a 308 to gain 75 fps just does not make any sense to me. I'd like to hit 3000fps, did not anticipate having trouble getting there with the powder I'm using. My primers are not flattened at all, no brass expansion. Actually pressure signs for my load with 66 grains a less than the Federal Premium I've been shooting. ?? [/QUOTE]
