‘Wow, how long is your barrel and what’s your load?

I have a perfectly good 150 Eldx load for my spare 7mm-08 but I’m going to experiment with the 162 Eldx, so I get what he’s doing.

I start just kissing the lands, then move back in 0.04” increments. That’s what Berger recommends but it’s worked for me with several bullet styles. All I changed was the seating depth. P

Wow, 3100 exceeds 7mm Rem Mag territory. What’s your load?

I‘m betting 2300. A pointy 7-30 Waters with a heavier bullet. But hey, as long as he has fun trying.

150 Eldx in my 7mm-08 162 Eldx in my 7mm Rem Mag.

How far are you planning to shoot?

Boy, I thought I was going heavy with 162 gr. What’s your goal on going really heavy? P

Yeah but now I’m serious about it. Plus I’m skeptical of the Hunter data. Nosler lists 49 gr as a max load for their 160 gr bullets, the Quickload data topped out at 46.

I’m thinking about a winter project of working up a 162 Eldx load for my spare Tikka 7mm-08. She shoots the 150 eldx very well, 2790 fps at the muzzle. She’s the spare and I rarely shoot her, so why not test a new load, I have plenty of components. Remington brass, WLRM, and I can load really...

Pretty good? All of mine shoot like this. P

Anything Tikka, basically.

Getting a “peace” sign from a door gunner is like getting an Academy Award!

Past a certain point it’s more about placement, anyway.

140 AccuBonds started at 2850 kill elk really dead.

This works.

https://kristian555.livejournal.com/27291.html I use Hunter powder and 180 Partitions. My load is 59.0 grains, close to max so work up to it. This load is a real thumper. P

I passed on him last year during archery. Too tough, probably couldn’t have put a fork in the gravy. Took a 2 year old 4x4, delicious.

I have quantities of R-P head stamp brass I measure by the pound. No worries there. Powder and bullets out the ying, so to speak. Primers are my weak spot.

I shoot a lot of .223, I’m down to my last 2k, starting to get nervous. WLR/WLRM I’m well stocked. P
