[QUOTE="Two Trax, post: 3036625, member: 100962"] I picked up a 7mm 08 last summer, 21 inch tube. Had some Win 760 to use up and 46 gr with a 139 Horn IB got me a tick over 2800 over the screens. With good groups. Increasing the charges only opened the groups so I stuck with the 2800 load. Shot 3 deer with it and none of them noticed it was "only" 2800. I picked up some Staball 6.5 but have not tried any yet. I was cautioned by a savvy reloader that SB does not start showing pressure signs until you exceed 70,000 psi and then it lets you know in a big way. So you may want to keep that in mind. IMO 2900-3000 fps is more liike 280 Rem territory anyway. [/QUOTE]
