[QUOTE="Trap708, post: 1837582, member: 109377"] I have a relatively new Kimber Pro Hunter in 7-08 and I’m shooting 162 ELD-X’s. Have tried various powders shooting this bullet which shoots well. Powders tried with this bullet have been 4166, 4451, Ramshot Hunter and Reloader 17. Velocities anywhere from 2550 to being able to bust 2800 fps with Reloader 17. Velocity wise R17 the best with good accuracy. Velocities achieveable with R17 better than Hornady Manual showed with a little less powder too. Accuracy very good with lots of touchers with Hunter, R16 but velocity lower than I would like. I would have thought the velocity of R16 would have been a bit more comparable to R17 but in my situation not. R17 almost 200 fps more than with R16. Have just picked up some of the new 6.5 Staball ( Winchester ) to try! It sounds very good just need opportunity to shoot some! [/QUOTE]
