How many rounds do you have on the barrel.. has it sped up yet?
I have a 7mm that shoots 160 partitions. Virgin brass and new barrel was 70.5 grains Retumbo @3015 fps
2nd/3rd fired brass I had to back down to about 69 grains and velocity was about 2950-2960. 69.5 was too much pressure.
After about 140 rounds and the barrel sped up i had to back it down to 68.8 and velocity settled in about 2960-2970.
I wish Peterson would make their "long" brass is the 7mag too.
