[Hey blu,
Don't you have a 7-08AI? What kind of velocity difference you see vs the standard, 100 fps?[/quote]
Yes, my wife shoots a 7-08ai. If you really wanted to hotrod it, you could get 100+ fps additional. I have found that it is very comfortable with a 50 fps gain. Hers has a 24" fluted barrel and shoots 120 gr TTSX around 3180 fps with 49.0 gr 2000MR. I loaded a 140 TSX at about 2940 fps for her elk hunt in 2009 which worked great at 318 yards. Both of these loads were a couple grains below any pressure signs which in this gun was a slightly cratered primer. Great, fun cartridge, not quite a 284 win/280 rem but just enough more than a standard 7-08 to make it noticable.
