    Anyone willing to share the Retumbo data for the above rd from the Sierra manual. Want to make sure its in there before adding the sierra manual to my stock. I typically run Hornady bullets but got a great deal on a 700 Sendero and 500 168 smk
    I have 2# of Retumbo in route to begin load devlopment

    With 168 gr SMK and Retumbo at 100% case fill, you would get 48kpsi.

    The SAAMI registered max pressure for 7mmRM is 61kpsi. That is silly low.

    48kpsi would be silly with clown shoes.

    If I am not getting 75K psi from my 7mm STW, then I am pissed the fuck off. Why do I have a magnum only to run faggoty pressure levels? Screw that. I want velocity and to get it I need PRESSURE.

    Guns do not blow up till well over 100,000 psi, so all of you guys who think the reloading manual is God, chill.
