Thanks P,
I'll see what 47.0 does and maybe go up a skoosh....



Makes a big difference what brass your using. Remington brass will take 47.5 gr. Of Big Game under the 140 gr. Partition in my 7mm-08s no problem and like Pharmseller, I get a little over 2800 fps. However, I’ve got a couple hundred Lapua brass that I back the load down to 46.5 gr. and get the same velocity. Lapua brass is a little thicker than Remington’s so builds pressure with less powder.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
