    Changer after chopped barrel

    Hi all - chopped my 7mm08 down to 16" from 18" with a DPT can. Was running 139g SSTs behind 42.5g of 2208 seated at 2.797 in norma brass, going 2760fps. Went to the range yesterday and it had opened up a lot. I was shooting fine as I checked my rem mag and had 3 shots touching each other with that.

    This was the first load I'd done for this rifle and it was a starter load that was acceptable but not amazing (I'd planned on trying a bit less powder and some different seating depths).

    What would everyone recommend I try adjusting first? Seating depth or powder? I'm leaning towards seating depth but not for any particular reason.

    Cheers.
