Yeah I've got one. Should probably try it out.

You must have just struck some slow 7mms, with a 180 Berger,70gns ADI2217 gets me 2900fps, 73gns gets me 3050 - the 160/162 100fps faster, similar results in other peoples 7mm Mags I have worked up loads for.
Had a 300Wby I used to push 200gn Speers at over 3000fps comfortably, but silly amounts of powder to do it, compressed load of H1000, might be your 300 Mag doesn't like 2225 for speed, you using Federal 215's?
Omph : grunt/power, in this case powder load.
@257weatherby, i did quiet few load developments to my 7mm Rem Mag, and the best load i have got with 162gr Amax and 2217 is 69.5gr pushing it at 2820ft/s average over the winter and around 2950ft/s over the summer. I have load the projectiles you suggest, 168 SMK and VLD-Hunting and the 180 VLD Hunting and hybrid, all the "accurate" loads was/are just bellow the ADI recommend and not showing any pressure signs however i need quiet a few loads to find the almost sweet spot with the bergers. I am a guy in the very safe side of almost everything and as i got an accurate load i just decide to stick with it.
I acknowledge that it sounds very slow for a Rem Mag but i am quiet happy with it.
Please, advise me if you guys also feel/have velocity differences with ADI powers during cold and hot weather.
Cheers.
