195 EOL 7mag

[Justin Todd]

So I've had these bullets sitting for a couple years, my barrel is only a 1/9 twist but with Berger stability calc it seems they should stabilize. So I put together a load with RL33 and to my surprise they are running 2915 fps avg with a 28 barrel and shooting very accurate at 200. I was expecting about 2700 fps as I am loading at 70gr of powder I was shocked when the Chrono showed 2900. I'm seating them .05 off the lands. Is this normal to see such a big difference in velocity?

I had better accuracy with Retumbo. Velocity in upper 2800s with 25" barrel. That was an 8.5 twist rig. Never shot an elk with the 195 but they were hard on antelope and black bear.
