    Short barreled 7mm08 and 120gr Nosler BT

    Just curious as to what powder and velocities are you getting with this combo in say an 18inch barrel.

    Seems to be 2 threads running the same.

    Mine, 18" barrel Sako A7 and using either 2206 or CFE223 and 120grn Nosler BT or Sierra Game King - 3000 fps. Deadly combinations. Deer hate 'em.
