| RL 22 is a wonderful powder for 7RM. One of the things about the Barnes bullets is they like to jumps into the lands. I would seat those 150's deeper to see if the accuracy improves. My rifle like them at 3.24 OAL. |

| Never had any luck with Barnes. Sierra, or Nosler bullets in my Ruger 7mm. If your accuracy does not improve from previous comment try another bullet powder combo. I use Hornady 162gr SSTs and 160gr Speer Grand Slams with H1000 and IMR 4350. Very accurate and lethal. |

| My usual load is: 66.4 grs of Vihtavuori 560 with CCI LR Magnum primers. OAL 3.33". MV 960m/s (3150 fps). Somebody suggested me to increase the load. I will try heavier load as soon as the firing range is free from snow and ice. |

| Never tried Vihtavuori powder before; can't find it. If your going to increase your load I would work in groups of three, in case it does not work out. Keep your barrel clean and let it cool down between groups. Do you have a Caldwell Lead Sled? They work great. Watch for signs of high pressure. CCI primers work really well also. |
