[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 748480, member: 61637"] So, as an update on progress, I loaded up 20 rounds to finish breaking in the barrel on my 7mmRM. This was my load: 168 Gr. Berger hunting VLD 58.5 gr. RE-22 (min. load) Federal cases WLMR primers OAL at SAAMI listed in Berger reloading manual Book list velocity at 2701 fps I saved the last three shells and shot for a group at 100 yards and this is what I got. What do you guys think? I wasn't really testing a load, just trying to finish working on the barrel, but this load is awfully darn tough to walk away from. Weirdest part is that I didn't do anything to ensure consistency between rounds other than accurately measure powder and using fireformed cases. My issue is that I would really like to get a higher velocity, but it is really difficult to walk away from results like that. What would you guys do? [/QUOTE]
