[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2755907, member: 48043"] O.K.... you are using the Nosler book... Do you realize the load I mention for my 7rem is already 2 grains OVER Nosler's book and still only clocking 3,000 fps; Nosler is over 3300 with a 140 and rl22... We've seen this time and time again with the 7rem no matter the powder or bullet weight. Serious overestimation of the velocity potential. I don't worry about it; I've got bigger toys in the safe and refuse to wind up a cartridge for a couple hundred fps. If it's your only rifle though, it can be a hassle. I load for a buddy's 300roy that is the same way. A bit slow, but a good shooter. The load for my 270 is running 50 fps or so off from book. I consider both the 7rem and 270 mid range cartridges so I really don't care about better than 400-500 yards and any pointy bullet is fine to that point. [/QUOTE]
