@flock i AI'd my 7mm08 and had it throated long for 160-180gr projectiles. It was a Tikka so i had plenty of room available with the LA mag and bolt stop. It allowed about 2 grains more capacity and on average i was getting 150fps increase over the standard case.
I switched over to 284win and get the same speeds but without the need to fireform cases.
