I used the sako factory 165g in my 7 rm before i started reloading for it and found them excellent on red deer. They were pathetically slow in my 22inch barrel (2730 fps) , think i shot a few at 400...

The creed is a great caliber mine is 19" and shoots a 143 eldx at 2770fps. I think 18 to 20" is a perfect length for most calibers with similar case length. There is a very nice Howa Alpine 6.5 on...
