tried 2225 and similar speeds but groups spread and wouldnt tighten up even going slower,

tried RL25 and got a good load but would change from tub to tub, gave up on that shit.

That's 7stw speeds...

What chronograph ste you using?

Pro Chrono, lowest 3185 highest 3210 so average @3200

Winchester brass seems to go very well in 7mmRM.

ohh, and the difference between norma brass and FC brass was not really noticeable, there was more difference in my shooting.

if you have not made up your mind yet, have a look at RL-26.

I tried 2217 amd 2225 i found 2225 to have slight edge on 168gr and above 2217 162 and below. Tikka action getting over 3050-3100fps 26" barrel

Tikka T3 - 162 A Max, 73grs of 2217, mag fit @ 2980 fps. also reload for another friend using 162sst with 73grs of 2225 at 3030fps also a tikka t3

N560 would prob give better speed over the adi
