Come on, guys, SOMEBODY has to have a chrony AND a 7 Rem Mag.

I saw one thread on these forums that stated 3,050fps was achieved by a 7 RM as a max load. That's not impressive - I have personally achieved 2,950 fps thru my chrony with a 140 g loading in my 7x57 Mauser. ( I have a modern, strong action that can take higher CUP than the 46,000 SAMMI approves for the 7x57). Don't try this with ANY military surplus 7x57.
