Velocity Berger 180 7mm Rem Mag

[Autorotate19]

Hi what are you guys getting for velocity out of a 26" barrel with retumbo powder berger 180 vld? Trying to figure out how hot my load is

 

[remcraz]

I'm using 69 gr Retumbo and my chronograph is saying 2967 out of a 26in barrel. I think my crono is correct

Have you confirmed it with drops? Also is that pretty close to max in your rifle?

 

[remcraz]

I haven't confirmed it with drops but when the weather breaks I'll get out to do that. I have went up to 72 grains but 71 and 72 grains we're having sliight ejector marks

Cool thanks let me know once you do. I'm going to do the same soon. I don't trust my chronolo much.
