    I reckon fuckin great. If you don't try them I will. Running 140s in mine but looking to get something with a bit more heft.

    @kiwijames if you do try them let me know and we can compare notes. Haven't loaded any yet. Are you using 2208 with the 140's?

    Any updates @Shootm ??

    I've been considering trying the 150gr version out lately for a little extra oomph! I've only got 2208 handy....perhaps 2209 might work better?

    @distant stalker - ever tried the 150gr BT?

    If you can't do it with a 140gr your probably better going to a bigger case.... (Insert wink here)

    I wanted to give the 150's a run in my 7mm08 but could never ever find any. On paper they stack up pretty good - I'd love to hear what your results are like.

    I think I might buy a box and go from there. I'd like to think I could get 2750fps from my 20" tube?

    RL17 should definitely do 2,700ish with a 150 going by my 140gr experiences & this powder.

    What projectiles is everyone using? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choices of projectiles that are reasonably priced with a good BC below the 162gr amaxes.
