Scope, rings, bases....eliminate those as the culprit. I would also try setting aside the piece of brass every time you get a flier. Could be bad runout on that piece of brass or some other issue with it. Is the action bedded, barrel floated?

I have an ongoing thread about my 7mm-08 going. I posted on it a few days ago. I update it when I have data to add...

Use CFE223 data...I'm about to do just that with 120gr TTSX in my 7mm-08.

I don't disagree, but components got hard to find when the virus hit and production shut down along with money being sent out by the Gov. Extra money to buy up whatever was available. Combined with record gun sales and the need to feed them, manufacturers focused on producing ammo in popular...

7mm 110gr TTSX.....unicorn dust...lol. I'd like to try some, can't find them.

Finally have enough components to play with this some more. I junked all the Winchester brass I had and I've been looking and looking for 7mm-08 brass to no avail but did pick up some starline .308 brass that I ran through my Redding fl 7mm-08 die. I was able to barely get away without neck...

Someone mentioned Texas already. Not the same as Africa but there are ranches with African game animals that could be an option for you? Of course I love filling tags, but I'm getting to the point that just getting out there is what I want. I've killed a few bucks with a bow and it's awesome...

Like others have said 68gr for 3175fps is right about where I would expect a 7mm rem mag to be. 3150fps with a 150gr and 3250fps with a 140gr. Noslers load data showing 3250fps with a 150 seems on the hot side but rifles vary. Belted cartridges headspace between the bolt face and the belt on...

The 6.5 Creedmoor crowd keeps the H4350 supply locked down pretty tight unfortunately. Works really good other places but it's the main staple for the creed...

Where is this data from? Hodgdon's burn rate chart is quite a bit different? Mag pro is way off between the two. I was wondering about LRT, looks interesting...

I agree. The only saving grace there is that Hodgdon is a distributor not a manufacturer if I'm not mistaken? If something were to happen, IMR( Not sure what the mfg name is), ADI, Olin and Western Powders could possibly sell direct or through a new distributor.

Yes, that was my point...

Ouch. I never used them but it would be nice if IMR would offer something slower than 7828...

I have a 7mm rem mag on a savage long action. It's throated long for 180ge Eld-Ms at 3.450" and it's a beast...relatively speaking. I get 3000fps with a 26" barrel which is far above any data you would find in a manual. If you're looking for something new, I'd probably look at a long throated...

I've been playing with it in my .223 as well. Excellent velocity and accuracy looks promising but still working on the various loads.

I've been wanting to try cfe 223 in my 7mm-08 with 120gr TTSX for a long time now. I just recently saw that cfe 223 is available after the great famine of '19! I still don't have any on hand, but what I am going to try with 120's here pretty soon is Leverevolution. The same burn rate or just a...

JB bore paste/kroil is the fastest and most painless way that I've cleaned a barrel. I suppose that is subjective but running patch after patch after patch of solvent and never really getting a clean patch drove me nuts before I tried JB/Kroil.

That's a pretty cool carbine. I could see one in my future although the $1400 price seems pretty steep...

H1000 works for me. 140gr through 180gr. I hear that RL26 and IMR7828ssc are good as well.

The look of those primers isn't too concerning to me but, you cracked a case head!? Obviously, you shouldn't be jamming bullets into the lands, your barrel could have a short throat and it can easily be lengthened by a gunsmith. If you aren't seeing the results you want, try a different bullet...
