[QUOTE="3degreesbelow0, post: 676039, member: 27718"] How are you comparing your velocities? Are they both measured over the same chronograph,....just asking? Because if you are going off the manufactures posted numbers one rarely ever achieves the manufactures numbers for various reason. also barrel length is important I believe the savage trophy xp is 22" long in the 7-08 most load data is worked up in a 24" barrel so you will rarely reach those velocities. The 7-08 is not very finicky,.... I am working on my 5th loading and all were more than adequate for hunting,...but it was straight forward to find one just be meticualous about working up and testing. I use the hornady 139 BTSP and H414 it is very accurate in it, and just worked up a load for the same bullet with varget because of the temp sensitive issue with H414 and the fact that it is in 90-100 this summer not a good scenario for silloutte shooting.
