Using Caldwell chrono
Shooting at 8000' elev may have helped getting these velocities

24" Krieger barrel, 3 shots, Velocity was 2909, 2928,2945 = 2927 avg
24" Lilja barrel, 3 shots, velocity was 2815, 2944, 2940 = 2899 avg




I get 2885 with 140 Partitions from a 22.4” Tikka so I think your numbers are accurate.




The only 7mm-08 I own is a tikka superlite but I think I remember reading that Tikkas commonly have slow barrels. Any truth to this that you're aware of?
