Will back it off with the next reloading but cant get the velocity up over 3000 fps which is what i would like to have got out of it.
I will use 2225 next time i get powder to find out if it suits better.

Yeah , Iv heard 2225 is the go to powder for the 7mm rem mag or even better IMR7878. Will go with the 2217 and see how it goes.
