[QUOTE="lkhanson, post: 478276, member: 12921"] Airgunner7 - You know, I've not had any issues with the rifle (outside of the factory-original trigger, which I replaced with a Jewel). The brass doesn't show signs of excess pressure, and it continues to shoot sub-MOA. I was given that load by the guys at Best of the West when I ordered my Huskemaw scope, and now have my turret dialed in for that specific load. Shoots like a dream - I was able to take it out the first time after getting that scope on and nailed a half-MOA-sized rock at 960 yards (guessing rock was 4-6 inches across). But, you asked about my life insurance - I don't intend for my wife to be able to cash in on that any time soon. The Hodgdon reloading table for Retumbo in 7MM RUM for a "175 GR. SFT SP" is "Retumbo 91.5 (grains) 3069 (fps) 63,400 PSI (CUP)" so I'm a half-grain of powder below for the extra 5 grains of bullet weight. So am I burning up my barrel? Yup. Am I worried about that? Nope. Am I worried about it blowing up in my face? Nope. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a novice reloader, and we all have to start somewhere, but so far I've not seen anything that I'm worried about. [/QUOTE]
