[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2879021, member: 116181"] Consider going to a smaller and lighter bullet to get more velocity from the limited case capacity: [URL unfurl="true"]https://hammerbullets.com/product/284-cal-090g-hammer-hunter/[/URL] 90gn going a very obtainable 2500FPS has a MPBR of +/-5" to 307 yards. If you can push it up to 2800FPS that gets you 341 yards. Stuff a case full of Benchmark and let it fly. This is my exact plan for my 7BR and 7mm-08 XP-100s for this year. 85gn works very well in 6.5mm caliber, I have no doubts that the 90gn in 7mm will work the exact same. Part of my logic is that my barrel twists in some of these factory/competition guns aren't where I want them to be for the real heavies, that pushed me towards the other extreme of super light. I got 69gn Hammers going 3000 FPS from my 6BR XP-100 using Accurate 2460. I don't see 2800 in 7mm as unreasonable at all. [/QUOTE]
