Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles opinion of 7mm-08 rem. vs 308

Not to drag this all up again, but I thought during the course of this thread that the load seemed familiar to me. I had copied the load in question RL-15 162 AMAX, for a buddy who had just gotten a 7mm-08.

I emailed him because I couldn't recall the data, but we both keep log books of load/shooting data for our rifles.
Here are the results from the day he/we chrono'ed the load:
06-13-07
Temp- 97
Wind- left to right, half value
10 shot string over chorno X 2
Results
Avg. fps = 2537fps
Std. dev. = 11fps


Oh and Jeff O before you go jumping around shouting how you knew it wouldn't do 2700fps!

The weapon used was a Savage Striker bolt action pistol with a 15" factory barrel. Only thing different than from the factory was the the bore was lapped with JB.

I reckon with 7" more barrel 170 more fps would be no issue what so ever
