Thread: 7mm08 loads and a short barrel

My life time experience with several Remingtons is that factory barrels tend to have long throats and often take 3+ grains over max to get top velocities.

I bet your projectiles are sitting off the lands and possible out of the case a fair way, both lowering pressure and velocity.

Personally I wouldn’t go below a 139/140 gn pill in a 7-08 or x57.

In a short tube I’d live with 2700 fps if needed.
