[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1797019, member: 87243"] Federal at first, now Norma. I feel like the barrel on this one may be a little faster than other 7 mags I have worked on, by 30-50 fps or so. It may also be possible that the action doesn't show signs of pressure on the brass as soon as the other ones too, or a combo of both, though I'm not sure why that would be the case, its just a factory remington. H1000 exibited light pressure signs out around 2990-3010, RL26 the same around 3040 with naked bullets, with hbn coated bullets, I got about another 20-30 fps before the same pressure signs showed up. There was a nice node from about 3020 to 3060 or so, it seemed pretty steady. We could hit the bottom of it with naked bullets, but the HBN allowed us to hit the middle of the node without killing our brass too quickly, making for a really consistent load just below our max operating pressure. Loads were also developed in the summer, 70°-80° temps. On a side note, on all the other 7mm rem mags I have worked on with 180 vld's, 175 NABLR's, or 175 eld-x's, 2950-3000 range was max, most loads landing around 2920-2960. That is three other remingtons, a ruger and a browning. All those were naked bullets. This gun just seems to go a little faster, plus the HBN helps a little. Also, I think all the others were using either remington or hornady brass. [/QUOTE]
