Buying a rifle for club shoots makes no sense so I thought if it would work, I could down load my hunting rifle to be comparable to 223.

Get rid of the Blaser?

I havent played around with it a whole lot to be honest but at a guess a full case with a 100gr on top in 7/08 might get you 1600fps?
I have really only used it for subs in 308 and yes it can be very accurate if you get consistent neck tension(anneal)and I was down to around 40% case full with pistol projectiles, could only be better/more consistant with a full case.
