[QUOTE="LRangepro, post: 317655, member: 9174"] I have to agree with Todd. I use RL17 with Berger 168s and I can get 3150 as well. I am puzzled about one thing. I'm using more powder to get it. At 53 grs I only got about 2880fps. 55grs gave me 3000fps. I have gone up to 57.5 grs and got about 3150 and just starting to get some pressure. This is with a 27" Krieger barrel. Now, the load that shoots the best is 3050 and that load is shooting sub 2" groups at 500 yards. Not 2 MOA, 2 inches, a few times much less around an 1 1/5. At 100 it burns a single hole. I've checked this load over a Pact Pro and an Oehler 35P and these are real numbers. Sorry if a particular 7 mag wont do it. Pressure handling has a lot to do with the chamber, barrel, lug contact, brass, etc. The guy isnt telling a lie and I dont think he is full of crap either. Is it the norm, I wouldnt think so BUT I'm hearing of more and more people getting great numbers from Reloader 17. I know two guys getting 3000fps with 180s in a 284Win. I'm going to try those too as soon as they get here. [/QUOTE]
