Accuracy in my -08 is best at 50.0 grains of BG but even at 50 gr. I am a little hot. My 22" barrel is chronographing just a hair over 3100 fps. so I'll go no higher. As a matter of fact, I am going to search out a slightly milder load that will give me accuracy as good as the above load and be happy. I bought a 7mm-08 in the first place to get away from the recoil of the faster 7s. I've tried RL 15; will try Varget, H4350, H4895, and maybe others. Just my thoughts....
