AngusM by 150 NBT is 2730fps and 165 Speer is 2530. Both with stiff charge of 2206H, dabbled with H335 but 2206H worked better for velocity and temp stability. Have shot a few animals out to 400m...

Yes at a pinch it will work, but a 16" 308 isn't the best tool for the job for 500m shooting, 500m is a loooong way for hunting. On paper it will work energy wise, but wind will be the real kicker...

Yup both 2208 and 2209 go well in 7mm08.

Get em walking ;) I've got an old "possum" macpac pack, seems to work better than newer designs that I've tried . Kids sits closer to your back. Was a mint on on trademe this week for $100

Just did as you described with 3 lots of RL26.... seems pretty common practice from my research. Obviously only mixing same powder not different types!

Ryan_Songhurst if it's in good condition you can pretty well use 7mm08 data :thumbsup:

Seem to recall I ran 49gn 2209 behind a 140gn prohunter in my viscount... can't lay my hands on my 7x57 data so don't quote me! I do recall it hated all BT projectiles, FB shot well.

Warranty claim. I had a vaude one that did that, apparently bad batch of fabric that coating was applied correctly to. Made for an uncomfortable week in the hills.

Been flip-flopping about a 284win win build but my 20" 7mm08 tikka does 2630fps with 162gr ELD-M without leaning on it too hard. Doesn't seem like much gain for the hassle.
