Thread: 7mm 150 ELD X in 7mm 08

yip use the ADI data for 154Gr I posted above and make the OAL 1mm (40thou) shorter than your mag length. Before I got an extended magazine for my Rem700 I could still just get 45gr in but it was a compressed charge and was starting to show pressure signs in my rifle. Also don't get hung up on speed with these the BC is so high they hold the speed well and even at 2600fps they hold enough speed and energy to 550yds for deer.
How far are you wanting to shoot?
BTW I am using 2208 as I load for a 243 as well so am economizing on powder, Win760/H414 would be a good choice too as well as RL-17, but I like the low temp sensitivity of ADI powder as well as being way easier to get than RL-17
