[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2444926, member: 30902"] Those were my first thoughts as well. The 7RM was developed with the intent of shooting 120-160gr bullets. Modern powders and projectiles give us more options but a given volume of powder in a given case is only capable of so much. Unless you're shooting beyond 1000yds the difference in BC between the 180 and 195 isn't going to matter enough to be a consideration. More often than not a factory rifle is going to give it's best performance with mid range loads and bullets. It can't be repeated enough, separate segregate your brass at least by brand if not by weight because case volume can vary greatly from brand to brand and even in some cases lot to lot. Develop loads for the different brands of brass separately or you can get into some serious pressure problems real fast. [/QUOTE]
