Thread: 7mm RM

For a hijack the speeds I'm getting in my 7mmRemMag out of a Tikka 24.2"
Norma brass (first fire)
162 amax to fit the mag
CCI mag primer
And 2217 as per below loads


70 grains
2759
2756
2641

71
Error
2838
2804

72
2891
2884
2877

Do those speeds seem a bit low? The accuracy was 0.5" if I had not pulled 2 of the shots (break coming this week) worth changing primer or powders? Or should I not GAF about 100fps

Just what I shoot,
Tikka T3 lite, my hunting rifle, federal 215m primer, ADI2217 @69.5gn, 162gn Amax @ average 2840ft/s seated at 2.680" ogive(mag length). This load is my 1/2" or better if I do my part used only for hunting, could be faster but it is enough for me to shoot out to 500 meters.
