hey guys, trying to get more out of my 7mm rem mag. im currently using 67grain 2217 pushing 154gr SST @ 2800 fps. I was wandering if anyone was using this kind of brew and was getting better results?
cheers

67gr seems pretty light. I was getting around 2940 with 72.5gr in a tikka with 162sst. If i were you id do a simple 1 shot ladder till you reach pressure in your gun noting down velocities. See if any nodes appear in the velocity results and go from there for a faster node
71-72gr 2217 with a 162gr projectile is a pretty common load. 67 with a 154 is a light load. You should be getting close to 3100fps with a 154 in a 24” barrel.
I get 3100 with factory superformance 154 ssts
Yip stoke it up
Cheers guys, ill stoke it up and go from there!
As others have indicated, you can get way more out of a 7mm rem mag. Hell you can get 2800fps with 150grn's out of a 308win.
