[QUOTE="su37, post: 993868, member: 5541"] I'm not telling you the 7 Bee can't fit 70 grains of powder. I will tell you that I load 5 differ powders to get 3K plus with 175/180s. Both wildcats and proprietary "factory" loads, have been pressure tested at over 70,000 psi. One was the 7mm STW. When it was wildcat quite a few shooters (including Layne Simpson) claimed velocities of 3600 fps with 140-grain bullets and no signs of high pressure, and 160's at 3400. When Remington decided to make it a factory round, they tested those handloads and found them all in the 70,000 psi range, some a little over. Which is why no 7mm 140-grain ammo from any factory gets over 3400 fps. You want to load in the 70K plus range have at it. Here's a little hint for you from my STW.
