Not to hijak the thread, but anybody using TAC with the 120 TTSX?

Remington case Fed 210M primer 43.5 grains IMR 4064 Barnes 120 grain TSX OAL 2.76" velocity = 3005 fps REPEATED 1/2 inch groups

RL15 seems to be the ticket with 120s in the 7-08. I settled on 43.5 grs in my model 7, but just about everything shoot good when seated at the first grease ring

Mine dotes on 44.5 gr of RL-15 & either the 120 TSX or 120 NBT, seated .020" off the lands for the TSX & .030" off for the BT as determined by mag constraint.

Well, just to show why there Ford's and Chevy's, I am using TAC with the 120 gr. TTSX's in my 7mm-08. It shoots sub-MOA groups. I use Big Game for the 140 gr. bullets. RL-15 was my "go to" powder and works great, but I get as good or better results with the Ramshot powders and they meter so much better. Skeeter & shootem-This is the load my rifle likes: 120 gr. TTSX TAC-41.9 grs. Win. Brass WLR Primer 2.740� COL

No, but it should be right at 2950 fps.(Sierra data-3000) with my barrel. I am anxious to get back out and check it.
