I know we’ve talked about this but I’ve forgotten. Could you post your recipe, including muzzle velocity? I have a bunch of 162 eldx I use in my 7mm Rem Mag and I keep wondering about them in my 7mm-08s.

For the 7mm-08 with 162gr AMAX, I used 43gr of Big Game with a Fed 215, and got 2600 FPS. Just note that this was before the plant burned down, or whatever happened back then that stopped the supply for awhile. I switched to 40gr of RL15 then, with the Fed 215, and was getting 2630 FPS with similar accuracy but slightly higher ES. No noticeable difference out to 600 yards though. Both loads shot great.
