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.

That was kind of the point of my post, it may have came across wrong. What I have found is you will gain about 50fps maybe a little more. But if you work your load in winter you may strike pressure...

Second choice power for 7mm08 and bullets over 140gr would be Win760 with a magnum primer or a Winchester primer. Yes its a similar burn rate to 2209 but... you don't run out of room in the case like...

Pommy, I would send an email to Applied ballistics. I did this for a 7mm bullet a year or two ago and they agreed that there was a database error and fixed it. I can't remember what it was I will...
