7/08 is shooting very well with 8.5 twist at 2640 fps with 26" barrel with H4350, will be interesting to see what R#17 does with the 180g eldm.
I throated the barrel to where the base of the bullet is seating right on top of the powder, a bit deeper than the "talking heads" would like. It would not surprise me if I got 2500 rounds out of this Krieger barrel or a tad more.
I use Lapua brass(LRP), never tried any Alpha brass or making brass from 308 Palma brass.
Does anyone know if the dimensions of the Alpha brass is a tad smaller than the Lapua in the Web?
