Yes, but I exceed Mag length only with 150 eldx. The COAL with the AB is 2.805.” P

What’s your muzzle velocity?

Work up to it: 140 AB 47.5 gr Big Game Winchester Large Rifle Magnum primer P

The big bull was a single 140 AB at 225 yards, 2850 mv. The other two were single 140 Partitions at 68 yards (4x4) and 346 yards (spike). Partitions are 2890 mv. Stainless Tikkas. The Mighty-08 is plenty for elk. P

I check at least twice per day. No way I’m missing anything.

So if Nosler is running at max capacity, where are all the blems? I’m used to seeing a lot more at SPS than I’ve seen in a long time. Are they making fewer mistakes? I need 50 gr BT Varmint for my .223, and 160 AB for the 7mm Rem Mag!

We went 4 for 4 on bucks this year, all 150 eldx from 7mm-08.

I hear that BG is great in the 30-06 for 150 grain bullets.

Never tried it in anything but the Mighty -08. I’m the BG guy for the 7mm-08. I’ve had phenomenal success with it. P

Tikka.

If you have any 160 gr 7mm AccuBonds I’ll take them. P

I just read your “Disappointed” thread, dating back to October. What a cluster on Nosler’s part. P

Which powder are you using? I use magnum primers with ball powders regardless of cartridge. P

Although, to be fair, there isn’t much the 7 Mag can do that the 7mm-08 can’t do at common hunting ranges. Tikka, of course. P

Try this combo. I get a hair over 3k and this is a deer/elk hammer. Tikka, of course. P

If elk is on the menu allow me to offer some advice. It’s worth exactly what you’re paying for it, but it’s tough to argue with experience. Buy a box each of 140 grain AccuBonds and Partitions. Find some Big Game, work up to 47.5 grains. Use a magnum primers. Try for 2880 fps at the muzzle...

140 out of a 7mm-08 should be an AccuBond or a Partition. If you want to try TTSX, drop down to 120. And they like a jump, probably farther than you think. Nothing wrong with experimentation. P

If we called it the 7mm-08 Bee you’d probably buy one. P

You’re right about the Tikka but wrong about the cartridge. 7mm-08. Deer, elk, antelope, all have fallen quickly (surprisingly so, in the case of multiple bulls) to a single well-placed shot. P

Big Game. Use a magnum primer. Work up to Nosler’s max, 47.5 grains. Expect 2890 fps from a 22” barrel. I’ve used this combo on deer, elk, and antelope. P
