[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 973742, member: 28381"] I've tried 75 gn of Retumbo behind a 168VLD and 71 gn behind a 180VLD. Both of those were near or at max when I did the ladder test on them. Flattened primers on both. Bolt lift was getting stiff and they recoiled severely from an un-braked 26" barrel. Won't be doing that again. Settled on 70 gn of H1000 for the 168VLD and 68 gn for the 180VLD. The rifle and load shoot under 1/2 minute... shooter, not quite that good. Have come to the conclusion that if I can't get it with those loads, I'll be getting a rifle bigger than a 7RM outa the safe and I'll try to get a little closer. Pete [/QUOTE]
