[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1033420, member: 52437"] Not sure about mainstream brass but I was heavily recommended to stick with Lapua and Nosler brass by people on here unless you want to start getting into neck turning, flashhole prep, and primer pocker prep. The Lapua and nosler brass has better consistency in these regards and unless you are 1000 yard bench rest competition shooter may not need any further preparation for the first loading...factory brass will "definitely" need additional preparation. As for powder, I was recommended to try IMR 7828ssc by another forum member here for my 7mm rem mag. I recently built a savage 7mm rem with criterion barrel. I don't know if I simply have a great set-up or if the imr7828ssc is great stuff but I have to say so far I am really impressed. Every charge weight I shot with 160 grain accubonds was well under 1 MOA and at max charge I am getting ~3000fps with less than .5MOA groups out to 300 yards so far. Have not tested it further but I am a believer and will use the imr7828ssc forever in this rifle at least (unless I get bored and want to try and bump up velocity but ~3000fps is plenty fast for my needs right now).
