I was a big fan of the 120 gr bullets in my 7-08 but I now am loading the 150eldx with RL17 and it is a awesome load. I'm getting 2900fps and 1/2 moa out to 500 yards which is as far as I've shot it.
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.
