You load lickers are still licking? He got the load, I'd imagine he usually does...begging for it and all. No shooting results yet. No examination of the theory that a pointy boat tailed A-Max might have a good bit less bearing surface than a standard 160 class bullet. Lots of talk about length, but not bearing surface. At least he quit begging for the load.

I want some of what Hornady was smoking when they did the math on BCs the day the 162 7MM AMAX rolled through the line...
.625 is on the exagerated side. Schitt, few 140 6.5s go over that (and I've shot them out to 1000 yards and the data jives with my results) This is usually done after 2 sighters and then a string of 10 (not "I shot at an egg at 600 yards and it was close")
Two other examples of "Super High BC Bud"
Speer lists their 165 BTSP at .520... Maybe with a tailwind??
And even 6.5's suffer. The Swift S2 130 grain at .571?? Another one I'm raising the Brown Flag on...
I'm Irish...
Of course I know how to patch drywall

...and nary a RL15 load that gets there... Imagine my surprise...
I'd sure be curious how in hell TryMe gets those speeds with RL15 at "normal" COAL's and reasonable pressures. Common sense says he ain't.
Look, dorks. First, whether a 7mm-08 will push a 162 to 2700 fps is irrelevant. I'm sure some rifles will, somehow, with some powder.
That doesn't matter; even if one WILL, that performance is functionally matched or bested out to 1000 yards by MontanaMarine's .308 load, as I showed. That he posted. Hint.
Second is the issue of TryMe's credibility. He's built this whole fargin' Internet persona on beating people up over ballistic minutia. Then he weasels out when someone asks for the details of a load- one that his whole hypothesis depends on!? 80 pages of [bleep] from the idiot, and he won't even post the load? That's an embarassment.
I just finally put in my Midway order Monday, I'm not waiting any longer. I'll try Tryme's load if he ever posts it but I'm not waiting any longer.
TryMe, post your load!
The CENTER will hold.

Not to drag this all up again, but I thought during the course of this thread that the load seemed familiar to me. I had copied the load in question RL-15 162 AMAX, for a buddy who had just gotten a 7mm-08.
I emailed him because I couldn't recall the data, but we both keep log books of load/shooting data for our rifles. Here are the results from the day he/we chrono'ed the load: 06-13-07 Temp- 97 Wind- left to right, half value 10 shot string over chorno X 2 Results Avg. fps = 2537fps Std. dev. = 11fps
Oh and Jeff O before you go jumping around shouting how you knew it wouldn't do 2700fps! : : : : : : : : The weapon used was a Savage Striker bolt action pistol with a 15" factory barrel. Only thing different than from the factory was the the bore was lapped with JB.
I reckon with 7" more barrel 170 more fps would be no issue what so ever

You can easily get 2700 fps with a 168 VLD in a 7/08. That is a hammer!!! 7/08 is a great cartridge...
Oh the 2700fps is avalible in factory ammo as well. Check out CORBON.
