[QUOTE="maninthemaze, post: 1175894, member: 87387"] I've been shooting my 7wsm 168gr Berger with 69 grains of H1000 at round 2950fps. I don't have a chronograph, just using the bullet drop on a ballistic calculator. Anyways, I'm thinking about dropping the Berger bullets and going with the 168 Nosler LRAB. When shooting milk jugs at around 500 yards, I've experienced 2 pass throughs. Didn't even realize I'd hit it, except I saw the water draining out. I'm also wanting to try some Reloder 26 powder and see if I can speed it up some. Alliant's website lists the 162 Amax at 3171fps with 71.2 grains of R26 powder. I know I should start off lower than this, obviously, but what would be a good starting point? Also, is neck turning necessary and would it help my groups? How many reloads before I have to anneal the brass? Sorry for questions, just trying to improve my game. Thanks for any help!!!! [/QUOTE]
