for conversation, from QL
max load under 140 gr. Hornday in a 22" 7mm-08 will run 2917 fps
max load under 140 gr. Hornady in a 22" .280 will run 3004 fps
max load under 140 gr. Hornady in a 22" 7 RM will run 3206 fps
all calculated using optimum powder for velocity and SAAMI pressures.
probably about the same diff @ 24" and 26" but i don't care enough to run the numbers. still, i see 200 fps as a healthy step up.
Thanks for the calculations Toad. What powder did QL indicate as being optimum for the 7Mm Mag?
