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. 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 can see where that’s a fun shooting combo as well. I don’t know if I’d do the 26” barrel but I’d bet I wouldn’t lose too awfully much cut back to a 22.
