That's pretty fast for a 150 in the 7-08...

You gotta watch RL-17. It can get way over SAAMI max without pressure signs.

Unless his is a particularly long barrel, that load is WAY over max pressure.

I love the 7-08, but it's always been my impression it's one of the most hotrodded cartridges out there. If a guy wants a 280, that's what he should get.
