[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1574917, member: 2736"] In the beginning, I Tried most all 284 bullet weight and found that most bullets over 150 gave up to much velocity in the 7/08 and bullet performance suffered. I found that the 120 grain Ballistic Tip at or above 3000 ft/sec performed very well on deer and hogs. I built a 7/08 AI to hopefully step up the velocity for the 140 grain ballistic Tip to 3000 ft/sec so I could get the same performance as the 120 with a larger bullet. I use the 150 grain in my 7/08 pistol and performance is also very good to 500 + yards. H-414 and Varget are my best powders for the 120s. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
