Re: Is the 7mm Rem Mag slow and never achieved predictions?

Just got my new 2023 Hodgdon's Annual Manual.
Interesting loads for '06 cased rounds, especially for the old '06.
165gr. top - 3,003. 12 powders over 2,900fps
175gr. top - 2,883. 11 powders over 2,800fps
180gr. top - 2,857. 6 powders over 2,800fps

The difference between this ctg. and the 7mm Rem. Mag. is actually smaller than previously thought - over normal hunting ranges.
The 7mag appears to hold less than 100fps advantage in most "hunting" bullet weights.
With the canister (general public availability) powders available today, the '06 just keeps getting better.
