I bought a Superlite awhile back just for fun. I already have a stainless T3 7mm-08 that I use for everything but I figured, why not. When Hornady released the 150 ELD-X I decided to turn the Superlite into a long range shooter.

I swapped out the SA bolt stop for a LA stop so I could seat the bullets into the lands. The original setup gave me 2.835" OAL, with the long stop and a .30-06 mag I reach the lands at 2.987".

Hornady suggested I use Nosler's data for the 150 Partition with Hunter powder, which I have a bunch of. I loaded a few at the max charge and shot them over a chrono. They averaged right at 2800 fps with no pressure signs. I loaded 6 each at 4 depths, starting just kissing the lands.

Maybe a range day tomorrow.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.
