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

Thanks Wyoelk!

All I saw regarding RL15 was this:

"OK, the 41 grs. of RL-15 and the 162 Amax was a bit strange. Win. Brass neck size only BR2 primers seated 2.95

The group was .75 at 100yds. but the ES was 60 ???? maybe the BR2 does not get a long with RL-15. 2580 to 2640. temp was 70 degrees.

Anybody have any insight as to the large ES

Next I am going to try FGMM, that is what I use with RL-15 M118lLR duplicate load with success.

Three things. First, that's two grains over max, and he's averaging 2610 fps. Second, he's reporting an extreme spread in velocity, as did someone else using RL15 if I'm remembering right. In other words, the load falls apart when you really push it. Not conducive to extreme accuracy at the kind of ranges where it starts to even matter, right? Third, look at that COAL! 2.95"! That's WAY longer than the magazine on ANY short action rifle that I'm aware of.

Dang I wish TryMe hadn't cheesed out. So many of these questions could have been addressed if he'd just posted his load, so that we could evaluate it properly...
