[QUOTE="EricNC, post: 1679771, member: 110786"] I just finished working up a 165 grain Game Changer load for a 7-08, 21" Shilen barrel. 45 grains of Big Game was getting me 2706 fps (measured with a Magnetospeed). 44.7 grains - 2649 fps, 44.4 grains - 2605 fps. No pressure signs up through 45 grains. Using 308 LC brass necked down to 7mm. Hybrid100V, which I use for my 180 SMK's in a 26" barrel, was disappointing with the 165's in the 21" barrel. I also tried RL 19 and Norma 204 (also left over from 180 trials). These were equally slow (2490-2530 fps approximately). Big Game was the big winner of the day. I would say that with a longer barrel, Hybrid100V may work out. Also, I have heard that Varget may get close to 2700's. That's next on my list to try. [/QUOTE]
