[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 179216, member: 547"] Captain, a 140 might be a tad light at the longer distances, but good for mid-range. It's hard to beat a 162 AMAX and Retumbo for starters. My best luck (in a custom rig with a 1:9") is a good dose of 5010 pulldown powder & 176 or 156 Cauterucios, or the 162 AMAX. The Bergers are good bullets, as are the Sierra 168s & 175s. Most factory jobs have freebore that Roy Weatherby would love, seat fairly close to the lands. On a safety note, the 7mmRUM jumps from safe to HOT pressures with very little warning. Be [b]careful[/b] working up loads and don't get locked into the velocity game - you have PLENTY to spare ! Go with the most accurate load with safe pressures. [/QUOTE]
