Starting from scratch tonight. 200 grain accubonds and Fed 215GM primers ........H1000, RETUMBO, or would love some 8133 to try, gotta find some in Edmonton. Have the first 2 powders on hand though.

Darn, in a much earlier thread discussing Jury barrels, I relayed the experience of a well known F-Class competition shooter I know ... that had purchased two 7mm barrels. The first one he tried shot decent but he could not get the velocity he required before it pressured up too much. The second, he fired the first shot using a known load and seized (and damaged) his bolt. Each was checked by a different gunsmith and in both cases, diagnosed with a tight bore dimension.
