[QUOTE="Ronin75, post: 2289343, member: 43370"] I have a 7mm RM which has been rebarrel with a Hells Canyon Armory carbon barrel. Currently I’m shooting 155 Hammer Hunter bullets. Because I ordered a shorter barrel to compensate for a muzzle brake I’m only getting a muzzle velocity of 2800 FPS before I start seeing pressure signs. I’m using Nosler brass and Retumbo powder. The rifle shoots my reloads into 3/8”- 5/8” @ 100 yds. My question is with that bullet and muzzle velocity what should I consider my maximum shooting distance on elk should be. I understanding shot placement is always very critical. Thanks for any input. [/QUOTE]
