[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 266508, member: 10"] Let me state that I was never looking for the top end of this chambering. I have no doubt at all that one could easily push over 3200 fps if they really wanted to push things with this chambering in a barrel of at least 27". Maybe faster. I use one load and its proven very accurate in all of these rifles so I just keep loading that one load back up and if it meets my 1/2 moa accuracy requirement for the rifle, it sells. For comparision however, I did have a customer that wanted to shoot the 200 gr ULD RBBT and I was able to get 3080 fps with that bullet in a 28" barrel out of the RUM with an upper level load. I would say however that if your getting near 3000 fps with the 180gr in a 7mm Rem Mag, either you have a very long barrel or your pushing the pressures pretty hard and also have a very fast barrel.
