[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 748491, member: 10723"] What velocity are you looking for? I load for a 7/08 with a 22 inch barrel and have been able to reach 2875 ft/sec with 139 BTSP Hornady bullets, using RL-19. My friend shot a nice buck with this load at 310 yards. With the 120 grain TTSX I think I could reach 3000 ft/sec with RL-19 powder out of a 22 inch barrel. I think a great choice would be RL-17! The Alliant web site shows that you can get 3007 ft/sec with a 130 grain BTSP bullet and 48.5 grains of RL-17 with a 24 inch barrel. [/QUOTE]
