[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1460225, member: 12995"] Quite the contrary... It will have a slower MV than if it was shot by something with a larger case capacity, but it's ballistics in the 7mm-08 AI will be exceptional. I know this because I have been doing something very similar for many many years... I shoot Berger 210's and 215's in my .308 Win, and while it only pushes them around 2,500 FPS MV (24" barrel), the ballistics are not far off of the 6.5 CM or .260 Rem pushing a Berger 140 VLD. ;) So, don't let the slower MV's fool you, it will retain more velocity and energy down range and on impact with the 175, than a lighter & faster bullet will.
