[QUOTE="Cornivorus, post: 1658588, member: 110435"] I know folks shoot the 160’s class of bullets in the 7mm08 but after doing a bunch of searches I cannot find any data with thus bullet and chamber combo. First thing everyone always says is” too much bullet for the case capacity”. But what if your doing this on a Tikka, long action and it has a fairly long throat too. I can seat it out to 2.988” before it touches the lands. 2.8” seems to be the norm for coal for the 7mm08. My thinking is that I should be able to lengthen my coal and use a bit more powder, thus more velocity. Does anyone here have experience doing this that would mind sharing? I want to be careful, but want to maximize any gains to be had too! Also I’m interested in trying either IMR 8208 or Ramshot Big Game since I have that on hand. I’m hoping someone has experience with these and would share. [/QUOTE]
