[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 364600, member: 10723"] I have a Model 700 chambered in 7mmSAUM with a 24 inch stainless steel barrel. My results may differ from yours. I have shot many different bullets and loads in the gun. However, I have not shot the exact combination that you are asking about. First, I loaded 168 Berger with IMR-7828. I worked this load up and from my data 59.0 grains produced 2800 ft/sec.. This is not a max load and I could have given it a grain or more in my gun. I shoot 160 TSX bullets with 60.5 grains for a velocity of 2950 ft/sec.. I have shot RL-22 with 160 Accubond bullets. I just never seemed to get as good of accuracy and I did with IMR-7828. With RL-22 I used 59.0 grains to get just over 2800 ft/sec and 60.0 grains gave me 2872 ft/sec. What does all this mean? I think that you can get 2850 ft/sec out of your gun using 168 Bergers and RL-22. Just start low and work up looking for pressure signs. If you don't get what you are looking for give IMR-7828 a try. P.S. Look at 6mmBr.com for more information on the 7mm SAUM. [/QUOTE]
