    At 7mm08 velocities you might be better off with the 150g Ballistic Tip

    I recommend 130gn Speer projectiles. They worked brilliantly for me in the 7mm08. Shot some big red stags with them and fallow with good results. PLUS a hell of a lot cheaper than Barnes, Berger etc.

    I've been working up a load for my sako 75 7mm08. I'm shooting 140gn BT. 45 gns of 2208 with a federal 210 primer. Winchester brass.
    Shot a group today at 0.55". The chrony said it was honking too. 2945 FPS. Pretty happy.

    I'm guessing it's 21". It's had an inch chopped off for the suppressor. I think they are 22" standard arnt they ?
