How in the heck are you getting g 70.5 grains behind a 195? I get pressure signs at 68-68.5 behind a 180. You must hate your brassFactory Tikka 7mm REM Mag

I was loading g 70.2 in Federal brass with HBN coated 180's, but that's about it. With good, high capacity brass, and maybe a slightly loose bore, I could maybe see that much with the 190 LRHT. It would be top end thoughHow in the heck are you getting g 70.5 grains behind a 195? I get pressure signs at 68-68.5 behind a 180. You must hate your brass
Every gun is different. I can't attest to what your gun does, only mine. The brass in the pics is going on it's fourth firing with 69gr plus of RL26 pretty much on every load, still in awesome shape up and down. And to have the ability to push a .751 BC bullet in a .284 factory gun at that speed and accuracy, is cool to me. I dont care if I only get 5 or so loads out of the brass before the primer pockets go. At the end of the day it's a hunting rig, that gets shot maybe 50 times a year, and brass is cheap.

I cant imagine brass would last that long at that kind of charges but hey to each their own. I use ADG brass so thats probably part of it.I was loading g 70.2 in Federal brass with HBN coated 180's, but that's about it.

I see the for right piece has an ejector smear on it. I'd back that off .5-1grain if it were me but if your comfortable with it who am I to judge. I used to run the 180 eld-m at 3056 but id get the occasional ejector squp so I backed off 1 grain and found a even more consistent load at 3019Every gun is different.
