[QUOTE="surgeon260, post: 1753425, member: 103874"] My personal opinion is that I would not be happy with that velocity. You are basically getting 280 AI velocity, not 7RM. It all comes down to your choice of powder. Personally I would not choose to handicap a cartridge with a sub-optimal powder. If I wanted 280 AI velocity, I would build a 280 AI. To me, optimizing the performance of a given cartridge/bullet combo is part of the fun. All of that being said, an animal will never know the difference. If you aren't an OCD reloader like me, then call it good and go shoot. Edited to add: to give you a data point on how much performance you are leaving on the table, I shoot Berger 180s with N570 right around 3000 out of a 27" barrel. This is not a hot load in ADG brass.
