The only data I've ever seen that shows a 140 over 2,900 is RL19 @ 2,930 from a 24" bbl. Not even MR2000 or Big Game goes over 2,900 from 24" bbl.'s (2,850 and 2,880 respectively), and certainly not Varget.
I've always considered the 7-08 a 2,800 to 2,830 cartridge with 140's from a 22" barrel (the only length I've ever owned in a variety of 7-08's).
There is nothing that would induce me to run a 140 in the 2,900's from a 22" 7-08.
But we all accept different levels of risk.
