[QUOTE="drumjunky91, post: 2466104, member: 121049"] Hey guys, I worked up slowly on a load for my 7 Mag and ended up getting some impressive speeds, but at the cost of accuracy with no signs of pressure at all. Obviously I won't be using these loads since they are not accurate but it makes me wonder what speeds they could be pushed to before they start spraying, pretty sure I'm already there though. Really looking for someone's real world experience shooting them. Here's what I ended up with: Browning X-bolt Eclipse Hunter 7 mag 1-9.5 twist 26" barrel 66.5 gr RL-22 (well over book max) Rem 9 1/2 mag primers 3265 fps average with horrible accuracy, but absolutely no signs of pressure. That amazed me because I'm pretty far up over max and I'm using (what I consider junk) PPU brass. No flattened primers, no ejector hole marks, no swipes from a heavy bolt lift. Seems crazy to me. I guess I'm just looking to see if anybody is having luck in the 3200+ fps range on a 1-9.5 with the 150's. Minimum recommended is 1-10 as per the box. [/QUOTE]
