[QUOTE="dakor, post: 139471, member: 2204"] Rem I was not trying to be a jerk I was just stating that a 7mm Rm is not going to get that kinda velocity. If you have a 30inch pipe maybe. I have the Nosler book also and I would really like Nosler show me in person they are getting 3300fps with a 140 and the rifle is still in one piece.
