Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

I could have made a fortune mining copper from my Trueflite barrel. Eventually settled down but took a couple of hundred rounds. Shot OK.
Bumping and old thread instead of starting a new onre. Just wondering what people are thinking in terms of the options now. Anything with good quality brass that isn't soft like I've found most Norma and Hornady to be. Haven't had good luck in terms of consistency is Federal or Winchester Brass. I have a fair bit of new Norma 7mm REM mag brass so that my back up option but rifle if just about ready to be chambered but kind of wanted something a bit nicer than just a plain old 7mm Rem Mag as it's just a bit plain and cost is already up there. Have a 1-8 twist 26 inch Brux and a ~3.75" mag box. Not really chasing huge speed but wanting to explore for a node at 3000ish with the 180 ELD M without huge pressures. Rifle suitable for .532 bolt face but can be enlarged as they also came in 416 Rigby factory.
I've been using Norma 26 Nosler brass in my 28 Nosler. Running 195s at 3075 fps. No issues with it being soft at all like I've also experienced with SAUM Norma brass.
7mm Blaser Mag is probably a good option for 180s at 3k.
28 Nosler can do that super easy but prob still using more powder than blaser mag.

To get the blaser to get over 3k with the 180 you would need R33 unfortunately or have to run them at a lot higher pressure you can't beat capacity there are no free lunches, at the end of the day it's the same capacity as the wsm and rem mag.
The 28 nosler will do that easily with better ADI powders.
+1 for 7mmBM and 18- gn pills. Running mine @ 3050fps with 180 VLDs with RL26 and not a hot load. A whole lot less powder than the truly other "big 7s". Seems to be very efficient cartridge design![]()
