[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 686968, member: 48043"] Another gent with a small block looking for big block performance. There's nothing wrong with the small block if you respect its limits. I can do 3200 fps with a 7mm stw with a 160 grain or 3100 fps with a 171-175 grain. I prefer to get a big enough stick and run it easy; I'll get twice as many shots out of my rifle that way. I have shot out a 7rum- you are barely into start loads at 3100 fps on a 160. My brother is using published Retumbo data and doing 3450 fps on a 150 with his 7rum. I was doing 3500 fps with a 140 without even trying. The 140 load got me a 700 yard + kill offhand after a 600 yarder offhand on a trotting deer in the wind the evening before, also offhand- both witnessed. I actually like 30 cal a lot better for hauling freight and will usually go there if I want to go over 140-150 grains. I've gone to 3300-3400 fps with mil-surp 50bmg stuff in my 30 ultra with 180's. My normal 180 load is 3300 fps with a mid-load of rl25. [/QUOTE]
