[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 1754266, member: 3056"] As others have mentioned, you have likely found a node in the lower end of the spectrum. There's PROBABLY another one on the high end but it will take more load development to find it. I'm currently in the middle of load development for my 7RM after a rebarrel and using the Berger 175 Elite Hunter. I'm getting an average of 3015fps with Retumbo making sub 1/2" groups @100, but unfortunately ES is horrible (in the 50's). I have another batch of tests loaded and waiting on the chance to get to the range hoping I can get the ES to a manageable number. Switching to CCI from Federal GMM primers dropped the numbers by about 10 but its still not acceptable for a LR load. Having said all of that, Id be thrilled with your current situation combining great accuracy and ES! Also, beware of some of the velocity claims you read on the internet about the 7RM velocity reports. Some of them I read and wonder why we ever needed the 28N!:D [/QUOTE]
