28nosler issues

[TheBoctor]

There is truth to the fact that there is a point of diminishing returns. There is quite a bit of difference between a projectile that weighs 0.35 grains going 250 fps and a bullet weighing 180 grains going 250 fps, however. I do believe the 7mm Remington Magnum is one of the greatest cartridges though.

I've got a 7RM 1:8 26" Bartlein that I exclusively feed 195's and I keep playing with rebarreling into 28, but for the life of me I can't bring myself to give it up. I worked a redlined load up w/66.5 gr RL26 and I was getting ~2930fps out of it, albeit with slight ejector marks. Ended up dropping back to 71.7 gr RL33 @2810 fps since i was eating primer pockets alive after a few firings. I've got the red mist for going fast too, but it seems like all the brain damage isn't worth that 80 fps.

Sorry for the hijack...

In my opinion, all of the Alliant Powder's are sensitive lot to lot a little.
