[QUOTE="imartin, post: 1571036, member: 106328"] Finally got around to playing with the 7RM I had built this summer. Using the 180 Eld M, Fed 215's, Norma brass, and an open can of Retumbo, I decided to load in .3 gr increments from 70.3-72.1, after some initial testing up to 70 grs of powder. I loaded 1 round at each .3 increment just to check how far I could push it. No signs of pressure so far, note it was 34 degrees outside. The picture shows the 7 shot group of those loads (there is a 3 shot group above from a different bullet and powder combo). I will get measurements tonight. To say the least, I'm excited at the promise shown, velocity's were between 2900 and 3000 fps as expected. Loaded .020 off lands. 1:8 twist, 26", SS, Criterion Varmint contour barrel. These were shots 36-42 through the barrel. [/QUOTE]
