Big Game, you heathens.

I have 7mm 160 Accubonds coming out my ears. Ha!

.223, three rifles, two loads. 7mm-08, three rifles, two loads 7mm Rem Mag, two rifles, two loads .30-06, five rifles, three loads 6.5 PRC, one rifle, one load I try to keep it simple.

Find some Big Game. Use WLR or WLRM.

That’s what I use. Easy peasy. P

“Sometimes the jumps are as much as .0010 sometimes as small .0001.” Zero point zero zero one? I don’t find that significant. Granted, I don’t shoot past 600 yards, but 0.001” to me is nothing. Differences in shooting form will have more impact on precision than 0.001” variation in seating...

140s will do it too. Partition Accubond Find what your rifle shoots best then poke them in the lungs. They won’t go far. Both of these bulls took one bullet apiece. The 4x4 went straight down, the big 5 went 90 feet. P

Just saw this. We kill elk with 150 Eldx over Big Game powder. 2790 fps at the muzzle. The Eldx is a surprisingly stout bullet. My nephew killed this one at 409 yards.

It’s the bee’s knees for the Mighty -08. I used to load for 5 7mm-08s and they all got Big Game and either 140 Partition or AccuBond, whichever shot better. Magnum primer. Varget was #2, great accuracy but waaay less velocity. P

I like it! Thanks!

He’s got brass on the way and I’m a Hornady Custom Grade die fan. We have Reloder 26 to try first, 143 ELDX. Can anyone help with load data? 24.3” barrel, 1-8”, Nosler brass. P

Well, sunuvabitch. I took a hard, hard look at the ballistics and once again decided to abandon the project. There’s just no advantage to switching.

If you decide to expand your options to include Big Game powder, let me know. P

Thanks much!

Anyone? How about just Hunter and Reloader 26?

‘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.
