[QUOTE="59FLH, post: 2301031, member: 108480"] This is my opinion, YMMV. I would consider a re-set of the 7mm-08 chamber diameters and headspace to SAAMI minimum, then your brass stretch problem should not be an issue. With powders like RL-17, Staball 6.5 and the like 140gn speeds of 3000ish are possible. Have you considered rechambering to .284 Win? You will give up 1 round of mag capacity but parts and supplies will be off the shelf and with RL-26 140gn velocities reach 3200ish. You have been down the Ackley road before and you know what your getting into with non standardized cartridge and case tolerances. But if you feel the Ackley itch for 7mm-08 I say scratch it.
