[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1824535, member: 108965"] 120gr Ballistics tips are a great option but my favorite is the 139gr SST, an awesome killer for this cartridge, both group sub half MOA on my 7mm-08's and really easy to find a load for. I jave not used RL 17 but looking at the reloading manuals with the 139gr SST you'll provably get it to or over 2,800 fps and the 120gr just above 3,000 fps. Both are good out to about 550 yds but the 139gr will have 200 more ft/lbs than the 120 gr, 1,000 ft/lbs vs 800, heavier would be better if you are shooting that far. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
