[QUOTE="Doug Herold, post: 1683832, member: 102658"] Ingwe, Don’t touch that load. “Velocity” is all we talk about, but “accuracy “ is all we care about. I have a 7 mag which was custom built by Best Of The West in Cody. The load is shooting flys off the target at 2911 fps. The turret is burned out to 1200 yds. Like you, I am shooting 180 gr Berger VLD’s. I have NO desire to get more velocity out of that gun. The set up is going to be quite deadly at distance and the animal is not going to tell the difference between 2900fps and 3000fps. I suggest you buy the Strelok or Shooter app. Input your data for your load, look at the velocity you will be getting at your longest distance ( 500 yds.), then research ( from the bullet manufacturer) what the minimal velocity is for the bullet to achieve performance. This will set your mind at ease. Enjoy your gun. Shoot a lot. Perfect your skills. Velocity is toward the bottom of the priority list. [/QUOTE]
