[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 840600, member: 22069"] I have loaded for myRuger #1A in 7x57 using mainly RL-19 and RL-22. I believe my accuracy load with Hornady 162 AMAX's is with RL-19. I haven't chronoed it, so I don't really know what velocity I am getting. It shoots sub-MOA though. Because the AMAX's won't be available for awhile, I plan to switch to Berger 168g Hybrids. I also think RL-17 would be worth a try. At any rate, if you feel that the 160 class bullets are just too heavy, you might consider going with a 150g LRAB (I have been seeing them for sale lately) or a 150g Partition. Nosler data shows them doing around 2800 or so from a 22" barrel in 7x57 with RL-19. I would expect similar performance from a 7-08. Experimenting with seating depth with that rifle may be worth a try. What you find out about the distance to the rifling may tell you something about where to start in terms of bullet weight.
