Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 7mm08 COAL ?

Pharmseller suggested I try some Nosler BTs , so I bought some 140 gr.
Before I ran a test with Sierra 120 spt , I measured a max COAL of 2.781", with the 140
gr BTs I have a max coal of 2.918".

I know SAAMI is 2.800" and Nosler lists 2.800" as well but that would put me at a 0.118"
jump.
For those of you that run this bullet , what jump are some of you loading ?

I figured I needed to have a longer bullet to get closer to the lands , have enough bearing
surface in the neck and not protrude too far into the powder.

Thanks in advance, WT.
