[QUOTE="jdavistx, post: 2290175, member: 89418"] I shoot 168gr Berger VLD's with 69grs of H1000 at 2950fps, 0.26 MOA @ 100yds out of my 7mm RM. Schneider 22" barrel with a muzzle brake. I could go a bit hotter but my rifle likes that round. Two comments which were previously mentioned: 1) You should be around 3,000fps. 2) 1500ft-lbs on-target is the generally accepted minimum energy necessary for a good kill. I would add that you might want to experiment with how far you are off the lands to improve accuracy although the math says it's good for the mission. I found that closer is better (Bergers are like that) but every rifle/ammo is different. I'm 0.002 off lands with CBTO of 2.705. [/QUOTE]
