    Im loading my 7-08 with 162gr Eld-m, 46gr of 2209 (it is a little compressed) I'm shooting a Blaser so am able to seat quite long 2.924in achieving 2675fps
    Have taken a Spiker at 590yds and Tahr x2 at 680yds (575tbr)
    I've rung steel out to 1000yds with this load putting a 4in 2 shot group.
    There may be more suitable powders like 2208 for example but why fix what isn't broke

    What length barrel @Noswai ?
    Sounds like a good load
    BC doesn't matter, until you need to dial

    Thats from a 22in standard Blaser barrel @winaa
    I wanted a load that was capable of taking deer at 600yds and I'm confident this load in my rifle will do that comfortably
