[QUOTE="Andrew Massi, post: 1458149, member: 106096"] My 7mm bee shoots the lrx best over a stout dose of retumbo. Velocity is 3350avg, fed 215m primers, 3.30 coal, extreme spread of 12. I find retumbo to be one of the most stable powders in the 7mm bee.Avg .750 but more importantly for me anyway, they stay sub minute of deer vital out to 800 I prefer the cut from the lyman vld tool over the rcbs I always count the cold bore shot, especially in a hunting rig. I shoot 3 rounds pretty quickly say within 1 minute max of each other. As long as it takes to pull the brass, set it in its basket and drop another round down the pipe. Check natural point of aim, breath control, sights settle, slow steady squeeze. The next group will be 15-20 minutes later, barrel is normally completely cool I Always shoot through a "seasoned" or fouled barrel, for me there isn't a set # of rounds between cleanings I just keep shooting until accuracy starts to degrade then I deep clean, condition and re foul "Range" work is as limited as possible and rounds are used on down range gongs and rocks in hunting situations and positions. I use a front bipod and rear bag, sometimes I'll use a Caldwell rock jr front rest and rear bag if I cant shoot prone. Either set up allows you the rifle to recoil in a straight line and not jump around I don't use a lead sled because it has no shooting mechanics, also when I tried them in the past I always had to adjust my zero after, the sled would be 4-5" off of my natural point of aim. If recoil sensitive I'd really recommend wear a pad or shooting jacket, or get your barrel threaded for a brake. The biggest thing with barnes bullets and a weatherby throat is playing with oal. Sounds like you found a velocity mode, I'd just tinker with oal until you notice it tighten up [/QUOTE]
