Thanks Country! Unfortunately I can't get either RL-26 or RL-22 right now so I'll have to settle for other powder options but I appreciate your information!
I'll second this from personal experience. I've shot everything from smaller deer to large elk & moose with 175gr Fusions out of my 7mm Rem Mag and the terminal performance has not disappointed me a single time. Both 175gr & 150gr shot very well out of the same gun.

Looks like it depends a lot on Elevation & Temperature for whether or not my 9.5 twist can stabilize the bigger Berger bullets. All the way down to 0 deg C and 400m ASL though it puts me at...
Thanks Eric! I'm hoping to have multiple options besides: change gun or change barrel.
I could be hunting anywhere from 1000-6000+ft due to our terrain and game target unfortunately.
Is it typical for Tikka's (or maybe factory barrels in general) to have slower twist rates? Do reloaders just...
Hi all! First time poster but I've been reading a lot of the threads on here and learning a ton (thank you everyone!).
I look forward to interacting more with everyone on these boards.
On to the questions, this could easily turn into a long post so I'll save more details for replies and try to...
