[QUOTE="jsimonh, post: 488457, member: 26029"] I decided to try a different load for my 7mm rem mag with 68gr of Retumbo and the Berger 180 Hybrids. Velocity was good averaged around 2980~ with ES around 25 with the exception of one low and one high round. Accuracy was really good at 850yds, probably the best I've had, but on about 5 rounds out of the 20 the bolt wouldn't open easy. It would "rise" as easy as it ever has, but wouldn't slide open easily on the 5 rounds. It didn't take much at all to get it open, but definatly a little sticky. I didn't recognize any other pressure signs but I typically don't press the envelope to much. The nearly 3000fps with a .674bc bullet is very appealling, but I don't want to risk anything that could be dangerous. I guess I'm just looking for opinions on what my next step should be. I was thinking about just dropping down .3 to .5 grains and not worrying about it. [/QUOTE]
