Welcome Chris. You'll enjoy hunting NZ. Some nice african animals there. Wish I spent more time hunting Kudu. Hunted lots of Warthog and I have to be honest - I love hunting warthogs.

Use 154gr ADI data for the 150 ELD-X. That's how Hornady groups them in their reloading manual. 2208 is the best burn rate for a 7mm08 with a barrel longer than 16 inches, if you can get it.

Yeah if it holds enough velocity and energy and precision out to 450-500 you should be fine should the need be there one day. With my 15" 708 pushing 140 nbts at 2720 fps it holds in excess of...

Hi Danny I'm using Laupa brass in the 7-08 I'm working a load for at the moment. I'm using 2308 and 150 ELDX from a 20" Tikka seated to mag length. I did a ladder last night and went up to 40.6...

My personal experience with 7mm08 lapua was it was far less capacity than other cases. I couldn't get to max book loads without stamping. Not a bad thing though same preasure for less powder!

Very fair call.....Sometimes a reality check is what's needed....I do love to tinker, sometimes to my detriment. There is nothing wrong with the 2209 groups thats for sure I guess it was just too...

Greetings dannyb, First and most important no it is not safe to use .308W data for the 7mm-08. Pressure will be much higher. I did a quick check on data for AR2206H 40.5 grains with 150 grain HPBT....

So an interesting quandary has arisen......:o It has been suggested that in the short barrel I may see better velocity with ADI2206h, I have access to about half a bottle but there is no load data...
