[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 684060, member: 48043"] like the others said, use a 140 or 150 as the minimum weight for the 7rum. I shot out 1 with 95 rl25 and a 140 sierra doing 3500 fps even. I know of one doing nearly 3500 fps with a 150(my brothers rifle with retumbo). Don't play with light bullets in the 7rum, stay to mid or heavy. If you really want to see what your top speed is, though, try aa8700 or similar. I got a 120 sierra to 4000 fps with it, but the groups were mediocre. I just wouldn't shoot anything worth eating with a 120 in a 7rum. [/QUOTE]
