I rolled up some loads and ran them over my chrony. All loads at 2.805", using WLRM primers. Here's what I found:
43.0 gr Varget: 2959
44.0 gr Varget: 2974 (over max, not recommended)
45 gr Varget: 3030 flat primer (over max, not recommended)
47.5 gr CFE223: 3046 (over max, not recommended)
49.5 Big Game: 3039
22 7/16" barrel, T3 SL
Big Game is Unobtainium at present, I'll see what CFE does in the accuracy department.
P Don't know the source of your load data, but Hodgdon lists 49.5 gr CFE-223, and 45.0 gr Varget with 120 gr Nosler BT. I'd watch my chrony and work up carefully on that CFE load though. Your Ramshot BG load should be about 58kpsi according to Ramshot data. You should be safe with margin with all the loads you have listed. The flat primer is interesting. bludog

P- those speeds align with my findings on multiple 7-08's. Maybe we have slow clocks😜

I am wondering if a bit faster burning powder with the lighter bullet may help you in the velocity department. Have you tried a standard primer along with an increase in powder? Could be your gun likeS to be fed with the case more full of powder.

I'm at or slightly above max, so I'm not overly enthusiastic about going up in charge. Realistically, 50 fps isn't significant anyway.

As we know - Game has no crony. Just affects clicks or Kentucky windage -
