[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1106284, member: 19988"] Good evening. I have a Rem 700 Sendero also in 7 mag. I shoot the 168grn Berger VLD with no complaints. I have done nothin to it but put a scope on it. It has a Tasco SS from SWFA. It's just the fixed 10 power model so that hurts accuracy. I can't see the bullseye. I just line the cross hairs in the scope on the paper and I can get a 5 shot group just over 1/2". Not quit .75" group but just over .5" group. I use 72grns of Retumbo powder. Now this is a hot load so be careful!!! Berger Reloading Manual says Max Load is 71.2. But that is for standered length. Which is ( COAL - 3.290" )Deep in the casing. I'm seating mine long. Deep in lands. So the pressure changes allowing me to use more powder without raising my pressure.( How I worked up my load. )I started with 66grns and worked my way up to 72grns at 1/2 grain intervals. Here is my loads. 66grn- 66.5grn-67grn-67.5grn-68grn-68.5grn-69grn-69.5grn-70grn-70.5grn-71grn-71.5grn-72grn-72.5grn-73grn-73.5grn. I stopped there cause it started show pressure signs.
