195 Berger

[Swamplord]

The 195 gr Berger EOL bullets have yet to blow up at 3300 fps from a 30" 8 tw X-Caliber bbl in my 7mm LRH, they all arrive on target in tiny 3 shot groups, got them going 3150 fps in a 26" 9 twist Bartlein with nice 3 shot groups, can go faster but they shoot good with the mild load in that barrel and the Norma brass lasts longer, a friend has a 7mm/338 Lapua Improved that slings them at 3400 fps and they stay together, no worries

I would need to know what powder are you planning to use? All of my data for the 28 Nosler I received from Berger, I just sent them an email and they provided all of the starting load and Max load for each 7mm bullet (168, 180 and 195) for all powders they tested in the 28 Nosler.

i have h1000 retumbo and rl33, so any of those would be fine. i use retumbo in m 338 lm

This is all from Berger on what they tested in a 28 Nosler for the 195 EOL.

H1000 71.5gr. Minimum (velocity 2733) - 75.5gr. Maximum (velocity 2876)
Retumbo 75.0gr. Minimum (velocity 2784) - 78.8gr. Maximum (velocity 2913)
RL33 79.5gr. Minimum (velocity 2798) - 83.7gr. Maximum (velocity 2959)

My 7/338 lapua gets them going 3240. They shoot less that 3/4 inch groups at 400.

What type of powder and how much is required to reach that velocity?
