[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2023407, member: 108965"] Sniper, you already have them so load some up and see how fast you can get them to fly, then check the ballistics to see at what range you are still at 1,800 fps and also good energy like 1,500 ft/lbs. I would try them with H4350 and RL16, you have nothing to lose. The 7mm-08 works great with bullets from 160gr to 168gr, I dont understand why no company make ammo with them. The heaviest I've seen are the 150gr ELD-X. The 139gr and 140gr bullets work great, I just prefer heavier for elk sized game. Stay safe [/QUOTE]
