Has anyone shot this combination? Looking for experience, starting to load them up for testing now. Trying Re 26 and IMR 7828ssc. Maybe h1000. Show me something!

Just don't compare the 250gr OTM Booger's .682 BC,to the .284" 180 ELD's .796...and you'll be "fine".
Hint.................(grin)

Point is/was...boolits matter wayyyyyyyyy more than headstamps and the "lowly" 7-08 crushes alotta schit,that many "think" is "great".
Facts and Physics,reliably fhuqks with heads.

Ive had a big 7 off of a 300 win case on my mind for awhile but haven't pulled the trigger on the build yet... I dig mine. Been an easy shooting rifle from the get go. Can’t run outta room even with Retumbo and RL33. Mostly used 175-195 stuff but if a guy were really wanting a complete hammer he’d have it throated to the 180 Hornady or whatever he planned to run and have a blast. Making brass is a cinch and it’s head spaced on point from the start.

On a .532" L/A 700 Donor,I'd stay 7mm RemMag.
Hell...a 22" 7-08 with a 180,stays supersonic to the 1760yd line,in this morning's atmosphere and it happens to be a platform,that a guy will actually use.
A lot.................(grin)

Though I have a few big boomers if I was building one now it would be damn hard not to start and stop at 28 Nosler or 7mm-300wm. The 180 ELD and 195 Berger are simply giant killers in every way.
A 7RM doesn’t such so throated either

Tough to grab a L/A...when a 7 Whizzum will squirt the 180 ELD at 2900fps+.................(grin)

My 340 will eventually turn into a 7mm, especially if I cant get it to shoot any better than it has. Just cant find what it likes as of yet. And Big stick I agree, I have a 6.5/06 that i built that gets the majority of attention. Sweet shooter and is fun.
And before I see one, i dont want to hear "its the shooter not the gun" or "its too big of a gun for ya" i get it, but I can shoot. Just give a guy the benefit of the doubt, Ive been shooting big guns my whole life and I can tell when I am fucqing it up lol

I have also picked up some 210 swift scirrocos on sale awhile back that I am going to tinker with for it, I just have a partial box of 250 vlds to play with. It does shoot 250 accubonds MOA or so, but I am never satisfied...
