[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3034816, member: 101791"] In a 308NM which is shorter than 7RM or a 300WM case to the shoulder. I achieved 3400fps with IMR4350, (26" barrel) 165gr Nosler BT, but it proved to be to hot because of temp sensitive powder. Change to H4350, and I am doing 3300fps now. It's not very temp sensitive. A friend had a 300WM getting 3400fps with out problems in a 24" barrel. So what I am driving at, is the case is about the same except bore DI. I am not for sure, but I think with load development you should be able to reach 3300lps with 160grs. The loads I develop were not touching the lands, I don't know in relationship to the lands they are. I have a 7mmRM rifle, but never used it, and didn't do any load development with it. I was and still shooting 165gr Nosler BT or AB at the 3300fps in my 308NM. The load is Fed-210 primers, 75.grs of H4350, w/165gr BT Nosler or AB. They group@ 1/2": @ 100yds or under. Presently I am using a 338WM w/200gr Nosler BT or AB ,W-760 powder , Fed-210 primers @ 3200fps Rem case, in 24" barrel Ruger Mark 11. It accurate, but can be heat sensitive too. It was develop in the summer time in CaL So as long as the weather is hot it good to go, but in the winter it falls of in velocity. Never determine just how much.
