https://kristian555.livejournal.com/27291.html Based on this article I tried Hunter powder. 59 grains under a 180 Partition was outstanding, with velocity close to 2850 from my Tikka. This load has put elk in the freezer for me. I named the load Hammer. If your brother wants the exact...

52 grains and a 162 eldx got me bright, shiny ejector marks and 2730 FPS from my Tikka. Easy bolt lift, though. I get 2790 with the 150 eldx using 46.2 grains of Big Game. Doing the math, there’s very little difference until I get past 700 yards, which is waaaaay beyond my limit. P

When you find some Reloader 26 send me a pm, I’ll give you my load data from 2 Tikkas using the 162 eldx. P

Regular AccuBond

I’m thinking I might want to try the new 150 gr AccuBond in the Mighty -08. Does anyone have experience with this combination? P

Big Game. Get some and use a magnum primer. I get 2890 FPS with 140 Partitions and 2870 with 140 AccuBonds. Precision I won’t post for fear of being called a liar.

Pinch him on the butt for me. P

So I see Nosler has a new 7mm Accubond bullet in 150 grains. I’m thinking about it paired with Reloader 26 at close to 3200 fps out on a 24.3” Tikka. Anyone have load data for this combo? P

I have specific experience with this topic, as I introduced my son to hunting with a 7mm-08. In fact, it was the primary driver for my foray into reloading. I wanted a cartridge he could grow up with, that could handle smallish blacktails up to elk. I started him with the 120 BT and Varget at...

The sheriff is near!

Looks crunchy.

Those bullets sure look long. What’s the COAL? P

My primary hunting rifles are all Tikkas (T3 Lite stainless or Superlite, no T3x). 7mm Rem Mag and 7mm-08. The Mag shoots a 162 eldx at just under 3k, the Mighty -08 shoots a 150 eldx at 2790. If I want sedate I’ll shoot the Mighty -08. It’s sedate enough to kill a 5x6 bull at over 400...

7mm Rem Mag, 162 eldx started at 3k, 4 elk, 100-400 yards, one shot each. Unremarkable blood shot, farthest recovery was 90 feet. A bunch of bucks and another bull, 7mm-08, 150 eldx, 100-400 yards, one shot each. Unremarkable blood shot, farthest recovery was 60 feet. I’m a believer.

I use a magnum primer in my BG loads, seems to tighten my groups a bit. P

I have. Good accuracy but slow, much slower than Big Game.

Yes, I bought mine from Brownell’s but they’re not the only source. P

When I started experimenting with the 150 eldx I bought a long action bolt stop for my -08 so I could load long. Using a .30-06 length magazine and the long bolt stop I developed a great load, and it cycles like butter. P

What’s an M plus magazine?
