A word on the 7MM RM. There are lots of good factory loads out there for it. It's usual factory twist of 9 to 9.5 inches works just fine with most bullets excepting the 175 gr. and 180 grain really long match style hunting bullets. I bought one from a member here this spring and after bedding it I started working up a load. I got stellar accuracy at 2820 fps using the 162 grain ELDX using I4350. Recoil is mild and the rifle is actually lighter than my 280AI. Looking at what JBM says this is capable of, how flat it shoots I decided to use it as is. A planned out of state Black bear hunt had to be canceled and I seriously doubt I will get a shot at a hog or a Whitetail at more than 300 yards much less 400 yards. I can save my H1000 powder for next year.
