I am a 7 fan have many various types but getting old and not going to spend so much time for components. Sounds good though.

Definitely interested in this one but I'm hopefully picking up my newly rebarreled 280AI on Friday so I'll have my 7mm itch scratched for awhile

I know it's nothing but physics but I'd have to see it. Sounds like snake oil.

disclaimer...I didn't watch the whole video.

I'd be into it if I didn't already have a 7 Rem Mag.
I can easily push that same 180 ELDM over 3000 FPS with H1000 or RL26.

have you tried Vit N570)
i shoot the 175 berger elites out of my 7mm and n570 gave it better velocity and accuracy over h1000, actually got rid of all my h1000 for n570 and n565

No, I have not. RL 26 gave a bit better velocity and <maybe> better accuracy than H1000, so I'm running with that for now. 180s at 3050 is plenty.

what twist barrels, and length are you guys using to spin the 180s. I have a 700 rem 7mm 26" barrel and 1:9.25 twist I am currently pushing 162s at 3055 with rl22, but have been wanting to jump into some 175-190 bullets but was worried about stabilization. My plan is to re-barrel with a 1:8 CF once i shoot through my supply, but if guys are getting good results with similar twist barrels i may have to start looking for some bergers.

Mine is a 26" 8 twist K&P, chambered by ES Tactical.
I don't think 175gr+ is going to work with a 9.25 twist. Hornady recommends a minimum of 8.5 for the 175 ELDX and 180 ELDM.
