Those 3" federal 7's are killers. I used to turn 200 with that load out of a Hastings non ported .665. Had 4 boxes of 10 of those shells and when I ran out..I started shooting the Hevi 7's for the extra shot..went from 200 to 280's with a 3" shell. Gave up some pellet weight for the extra shot. Those fed 7's are definitely a death punch.
