Moby1,

Thanks.

I tried Ramshot's 7mm-08 data in my 21" barreled 7x57 (which has a throat on the short side), and with 48.5 grains of Big Game and the 139-grain Hornady Spire Point Interlock got 2875 fps and excellent accuracy, with apparently mild pressure.

Also tried 48 grains of Hunter with the 160 Sierra GameKing and got around 2675 fps and good accuracy, which is just about exactly what I get with 46.0 grains of H4350. Again, pressure is apparently mild.

In both loads the primer was the CCI 250. A different primer and throat length would make some difference.
