[QUOTE="7stw, post: 626608, member: 22854"] Just got back from rifle range and was testing some Retumbo, and H1000 loads with 162 A-Max, and 168vld's. Well, accuracy wise, the A-Maxes were the clear winner. My load was 79.6-Retumbo- 162 @ 3.702 coal. Velocity was 3034 ave, ES,22- SD-10. I had 1 string that I received no data on, my fault. I had pushed the reset button, and did not clear it before I shot. I also shot some 160 fail safes. Good speed, but lousy accuracy. I shot another group with 168 VLD's, with 79.6 -H1000 @ 3.696. velocity average was 3068. Accuracy was fair, but not great. However, my backstop when I chronographed these loads was only at 100 yds. The Bergers seem to stabilize better AFTER 100 yards. Anyway, these loads are encouraging. I know that I have a little headroom on the chrarges and velocity. In my Sierra book, I am at max now, but I have NO pressure signs. One point of interest that I want to pass along, is that I did a little experiment with primers. I did not use a mag primer today. I used the Winchester WLR standard primer. I have been having great luck with it in my 7 mags, and just wanted to try it. I believe that it keeps the ES lower in most cases. Just an update. This was my Sako 75. Just bought another Sendero barrel in 7STW from classifieds a few minutes ago from Longhauler. AIM SMALL, MISS SMALL.lightbulb. 7 STW [/QUOTE]
