i had a great shootn load with RL 19 but 55* temp change losses about 175 ftps and causes poor groups varget shoots great but a little slow a 140 gn accubond at 2760 the RL19 was about 2975 on a warm day . just wondering if anyone had developed a load that seems to be really good with the 140 gn accubond

My 7-08AI wears a 22" 11 twist Shilen. With 50.0gr of IMR 4831, IMR 4350, or H380 it shoots 1/2" groups at 2977fps +/-. H414 chronographs at 3075fps, but accuracy is much better just under 3000fps with the previously mentioned powders.

I ran 120 TSXs and they hammered everything in their path. Pushed them 3100+ with '19. I'm all about dropping the bullet weight and picking up speed.

Wow SST, that's some pretty good velocity out of a 22" tube.

I don't know if the 11 twist barrel has anything to do with it, or if it just happens to be a fast barrel. I've used these loads for years.

Varget got me 2900-2960 in std. 7/08 but IMR 4064 was my fav powder for squeezing the most accuracy and velocity, seemed to edge out Varget for groups, very similar fps.
