[QUOTE="MarkA, post: 1164111, member: 5220"] The 140AB is a real sweet spot in physics. I was shocked to see how much speed the 7WSM was capable of compared to the other wsm family as I built loads for it. It is a screamer for 24" barrels. Yep and Federal loads in their "premium" ammo with 140 NBT rated at 3,310fps. Shot couple of rounds of it over magneto speed last year and went 3,285 fps. I don't use them for anymore because the brass is now nickle plated and cost too high. So I just buy fusions or blue box stuff for brass harvest. Brass cost is the same doing this. The biggest reason I stay Federal is their ammo is loaded with their 215 mag primer so I don't deprime and waste repriming when using the Federal ammo for brass harvest. I just neck size and reload with 140AB's. Harvested brass has been amazingly accurate even first firing. [/QUOTE]
