I worked up to 52 in 90 degree heat. Never saw any issues there and didn't see anything unusual when hunting in the 40's. Hasn't gotten much colder then that around here yet. Big Game is supposed to be as temp. insensitive as anything else out there today.

Hi folks. Just wanted to add some data. Shot 51, 51.5, and 52 grains of Big Game under 120 NBT's today, and chrono'd the result.
51 -- 3080 fps
51.5 -- 3125 fps
52 -- 3160 fps
This from a stock Remington 22" barrel. I didn't see any pressure signs. Accuracy was ok but that'll be addressed separately anyway.
Very impressed with the stuff so far. Teasing 3200 fps is pretty amazing stuff from a 7-08! Thanks for the great thread!
The CENTER will hold.

Wondering how the TAC stacks up vs Big Game, all else the same?

I had some fun with Big Game and 120 BTs from a couple of Tikkas. Interesting what the difference between CCI200 and WLRM made. Standard stainless T3 ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/pharmseller/image_zpsyi03agog.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/pharmseller/image_zpslnsxymsu.jpeg) Now the Superlite ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/pharmseller/image_zps4b77icq4.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/pharmseller/image_zpspzthgbvw.jpeg) Not bad.

A case full of ball liked the hotter primer. I believe a CCI 250 would have tightened things up as well.

These bullets, this powder! As good as it gets. With RL 15 not too far behind.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

We lost a good guy when DJTex quit posting. Always enjoyed his posts.

Never could get BG to perform in accuracy with 120's like RL-15. 300 yd group with my Tikka SL ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LqSkXPbl.jpg)
