[QUOTE="med358-boise, post: 2591580, member: 123832"] Unlikely - the 7mm-08 is a very effecient cartridge. If you handload and can get a hold of of some CFE-223 you generate velocity in the mid 2800s with 140 and a 22" bbl. If your looking foremore than that, then the 7mm-08 is probably the wrong platform. Additionally, you need to consider that you may get a fast bbl versus a slow a barrel and any particulat barrel may like a slower charge versus a faster charge. An example - 22" 30-06 shoots 168 grn TSX into 5/8" at. 2825 H4350, my 23 inch 308 win shoots them into 2/3" at 2815 CFE-223. I am gueesing you are l0oking for a lighter weigth all around rifle. You are probably looking at 50 fps max which is irrelevant IMO. [/QUOTE]
