Ok, I have finally gotten around to working up handloads for my little custom 7mm-08. I built it on a Rem. 700 SA, a 22 in. Douglas barrel with an MPI stock. It shoots factory loads lights out, but am looking for better performance.
I have settled on W760 with a magnum primer, Winchester brass and 140 gr. Ballistic Tips. My question is this:
Winchester shows 46 gr. as max. Ken Waters in Pet Loads says 49 is max, and that Remington loads a non cannister grade of 760 at 48-48.5 gr. Which is it??
I know the gun will shoot, now I want to get it to 2900 fps if possible, and was told that 760 is the powder to do it, now I am wondering.
