If you choose to stay with this powder I would shoot 3 of each in this set of charges
68.5 2881
69 2883
69.5 2884
70 2903
70.5 2918

Seems slow for a 162 grainer. But clearly looks like a node in the first 3.

Shot ten at 68.5 today and it was a bust. Will load at 69.5 and load three each to 71 and see if i get pressure signs

Here is my Remington 700 at 300yds. I like the 175gr bullets.

I purchased this Remington 700 7mm rem mag police model from a friend. Very low round count. Mounted a SWFA 10x42 on top. Sighted in using some older Winchester 150gr ammo shoots about 1 moa at 100 yards. I plan on hunting and doing some 1000 yard target practice with this rifle. Currently I have some Peterson brass, Wolf magnum primers, 162gr eld m and Retumbo powder. Wanting to try 175-180gr but not 100% they will stabilize in this rifle. Any tips ? View attachment 383025

Anything up to about 175gr should stabilize just fine, 180's iffy.

Mono's I wouldn't go over 162gr. Those were known to be well made good shooting rifles so enjoy.

I just load everything to mag length, max that still works properly and adjust my load from there.

Saves pulling out a lot of hair.

That sounds like a nice, accurate load that should be very effective if the larger test proves out.
