[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2810167, member: 48043"] The Tikka rifles don't seem to be too fast in 7 rem. The one my kid shoots is running 3,000 fps with a 140 Sierra pro hunter and 68 rl22 in ww brass lit by a 215. However, the accuracy is there and the uniformity is usually in the 20's for x.. I suspect a powder switch may be in order, but h4831 sc is usually rather good at being lit with a 215, albeit a bit slow vel. wise. If you could snag a # of 560 or 565 you might get an improvement, but that's just a guess. I've run 4831 sc vs. mil. surp h4831 in my old 300win and she dumped 150 fps (vs the old powder) when pressured out with a 180. I switched to 7828 and got most of my vel. back. [/QUOTE]
