Thread: 7mm08 loads 150 - 168gr

Shit.

44.5 is actually below book minimum load. I started at 45.0 and worked up to 47.0.

Not one load of amax stayed at the seating depth, they all pushed back out from 3 to 15 thou (but very even within each load).

The barnes are staying put. I don't have much confidence in the 2209, maybe if I had an extended mag box. Will see on friday.

My Nick Harvey book starts at 43gr 2209 with 162gr

41gr 2208 with 162s gave 2500 from 19" barrel, I get 2840 with 44.3 gr 2208 from. Looking at figures I should be able to achieve 2600 with a little more powder....
