You could probably get around 61-61.5grs in the case but it didn't look promising so I didn't go any higher.

62 3351- powder crunching while seating.
Never ran into any bolt lift or saw a heavy EM.
The barrel has 212 rounds through it now. I checked the throat and it has eroded .0065" not bad at all.
Retumbo has also worked well in the 6mm and 6.5mm SST. I'm pretty sure it will work in the 7 when it comes out too. At least with 180 and above bullets.Got to try some more powders this evening.

I have Smith's that will but none stocked.Sounds like a great round!!! Rich is anyone making a savage pre fit yet?
I can ship a carbide reamer to a smith that that will likely do it this month.Any Smith's with your reamer not backed up months?
