I just received new barrel for my rem 700 7mm-08. Is 22" 1 in 8 mcgowen I want to try the 180 eldm in. I was wondering if someone could run quickload to give me idea on what powders might give most velocity.

Thank you guys!!!
 
Don't know why anyone would go with a 180 in that cartridge but Hodgdon has a load for it. Most others stop at 175. Also better check your twist rate with that bullet.

Because it cuts wind like a knife! Not going to be flat, but if you are dialing then who cares. Need a 1 in 8 twist though for sure. My 7mm-08 is a 9.5" twist so a 162 is the heaviest I could go. I shoot the 180s in my 7mm rem mag...8 twist.
 
Starting at 2500 fps is only like 2.5 moa more drop at 1000. Benefits in wind are worth it
 
I get what he’s doing.

Me too. Lot's of us have loaded the 7m-08 for a lot of years....so kinda "ain't our first rodeo" been there done that.

7mm-08, 180/195 Berger, QL request

Considering testing some real heavies in my 1-8 twisted 7-08. Could someone please help me with Quickload? I am using Lapua brass and have a 26" barrel. Load 1: 180 Berger Hybrid, COAL 2.95" Load 2: 195 Berger EOL, COAL 3.05" Powders I have are Viht N550 and N560. Thanks for your time :)

The 175-180's have their pros for sure but you have to have the right twist, and barrel length. The 180 takes up a lot of "space in the case" so like the 284 Win the 7mm-08 would handle the 180's better on a long action. Just sayin.

Guy on another forum was getting between 2550 and 2600 with 20 or 22" barrel can't remember. Just have to seat long

Thank you will probably load out to 2.950 though. Should help.
 
Is your barrel throated for a 2.950" oal with the 180gr Eld-M? You may not be able to go that long otherwise. Another .150" of powder space could change that list a bit though. I'd say those are basically starting loads as well. I doubt you will see any pressure signs until you get above 60,000psi...
