[QUOTE="Sauer 150, post: 1658789, member: 47924"] I've used a couple of 7-08's for a few years and feel People fails to see the full potential of the cartridge For the heavies +160 weight Alliant MR2000, Reloader 19,H414 and similar burning powders seems to work well. You can in normal barells approach MV of 2700f/s with 160/162's. It's plenty for up to roughly 400y and still maintain decent expansion. Loaded to 2,9-2,95" you can normally add 1-1,5grs to the book max loads and still not get into dangerous pressure territory. ON medium game I landed on 154 Hornady Interbond ahead of 50grs of Re19. Used on everything from small deer => Moose out of both a Sako 85 Finnlight and Barrett Fieldcraft. A 7-08 is great medium game cartridge and when going back a few years we did Shot International Silhuett with it. 168's out of a 7-08 was plenty for tipping over even the hardest set ram @500 [/QUOTE]
