I'm rebarrelling my 7-08. Right now I get 2784fps from 47.5gr of Win 760 and 140gr. bullets. This is with a 20" barrel. This velocity matches the hornady manual with test data coming from a 24". If anyone has experience with this cartridge in barrel lengths from 20"-26" I would be Interested in velocity results.
Also I was thinking 9 twist, I dont want to shoot anything over 140gr bullets. Shilens website says 12 twist to 140 gr. Is this running right on the edge or will it stabilize.
Thanks in advance for any input.
