[QUOTE="Subzero, post: 1729624, member: 111574"] I don't have a chrono, but from what I have read online my velocities should be around 2,900fps out of my 7wsm. I don't think that velocity would be considered "hot rodding". Also, I have no pressure signs. All the groups I shot during load development/break-in were under 0.8" (not including the two bullets that blew up on me). I'm going to finish this box of bullets at the range and see what happens. Someone posted that cut rifled barrels are so sharp they might destroy bullets before being fully broken in. Hopefully that is the case with my rifle. I will keep the forum posted. [/QUOTE]
