[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2261755, member: 110890"] Yes, the 7-AM is hard on bullets. With my 8tw, it seemed wiser to stick with the monos for hunting when you don't know if your shot will be near or far. Mine is still fresh off the press so we will be doing more testing on bullets in the coming months. I like the 195 EOL, but the way those BD-2's are running, it's hard to argue with them. Also want to explore cleaner & more temp stable powders. The RL-33 does well in these big cases, but a little dirty and over the summer here I've seen some velocity spikes in the heat - talking close to 3,800 fps with 107.0 / 150 BD-2's - heavy bolt & ejector swipe. That scares me with this much powder in play. Safe is ALWAYS better. [/QUOTE]
