[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1829027, member: 108965"] So I finally got out to try a load on my 7mm-08 with the 154gr SST and the best group was 0.87" with 47.0gr of RL19 WLR primers Winchester Nickel brass COAL of 2.86", pretty much max mag length. I know RL19 is not temp stable but had some at home and this load wont be used on warm weather. Winds were swirling at constant 15 to 20 mph and wind gusts up to 35 mph, typical day here in southern AZ. Obviously not the ideal conditions but it is what it is. Im thinking I'll try it again next Sunday when I check zero's for the upcoming spring javelina hunt. [ATTACH type="full"]174741[/ATTACH] For my wife's 7mm-08 I went ahead and tried some current loads but with WLR primers instead of the G210M and got a bit bigger groups, both are Sub Half MOA woth the G210M primers but again the winds were crazy. On the 139gr SST group the crossed off shot was a flyer caused by me [ATTACH type="full"]174742[/ATTACH] This is with the 120gr Ballistic Tip. This is the group I shot last when the wind was the strongest, the high shot was also a flyer by me, the other four were good. [ATTACH type="full"]174743[/ATTACH] At this shooting range the winds always push your bullets from left to right so don't know what to make of this one, they were good until one went too far right. Thinking I'll try them again next week and hope its less windy. Any thoughts? TIA [/QUOTE]
