[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1638687, member: 92702"] I have both a 7MM Wby and a 7MM WSM. They both have 24" barrels and they both shoot pretty much the exact same velocity. Within 15fps of each other. Like others have said, use a slower powder. I have always used Re22, but will try Re23 and Re26 when I run out. I will always believe the 7MM was the best of the WSMs. Shame lawsuits ruined it. It is a great cartridge. BTW Hornady 162gr ELDX Precision Hunter equals my best handloads in my rifle, just in case you get in a bind and need to shoot some factory loads for some reason. They shoot about 1/2" in my rifle, a factory Model 70. [/QUOTE]
