Has anyone shot staball 6.5 in the 7MM-08 ?

I tried it with a 140 AB and didn't group as good as Big Game does. About 1.7 verses .5-.7 haven't tried with any other bullets. Dan.

>>> those plus 1" groups sure are a buzz kill. Does big game push them fast?
 
Really accurate in my 270 Win with 130gr BT’s and PT’s at 3130 fps. Haven’t tried other calibers with it yet.

140 gr Nosler AB
46.0 grs Big Game
Fed. 210 GM
2759 MV
this is 1.5 grs under max from my 22 in barrel. Dan.
 
I went through the 'chasing a powder' phase for my 7/08 about 6 years ago. I did it before with my finicky 308 Carbine.

In the end of too much $$ spent, too much wasted time loading shooting and my EX being a absolute Witch (replace with a B) I finally came to the conclusion that if I can't get a descent group out of a mid caliber based on the 308 case with either Varget, or RL-15....I'm wasting my time.
