[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 399077, member: 8927"] That is an almost identical load to mine, 168 berger, 73gr H1000, federal case federal 215 primer, 26" barrel 3087 fps. No problems with this load. Look at what pressures the loading manuals are keeping their 7mm mag too. You will probably find they are down at 55,000 psi rather than the 60,000 psi that the modern 7wsm are. There is no reason why in a modern rifle the 7mm mag cannot be loaded to 60,000 psi. NZLongranger on here publishes a magazine called NZHunter. He had an article on the 7mm mag with 162 a-max. He attached a strain gauge and Oehler 43 ballsitic lab and recorded pressure as he worked up the load, very interesting. he may be able to get a copy of the article to you. Try PM him or search for NZHunter on the web and send him an e-mail. Stu. [/QUOTE]
