I'm finding this topic very interesting as while I don't have a 7-08, I do have a couple of 7x57s I run in the 7-08's velocity range. I usually use a .35 Whelen for elk but would like to try the 7x57. I'm thinking 150 gr. Partitions or Accubonds if I can get the accuracy I want. So far not much cooperation from the M70 FWT. Oh well, I have till next January to find a load for the hunt. Paul B.
Have you tried a 160 gr bullet in the 7mm Mauser? That's what mine shoots very well,matter of fact it's a Sierra GK 160 gr. With IMR-4350 in the 22" barrel it's getting 2710 fps.
