[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2252645, member: 106514"] It would sound even better if he had a 24" barrel like the test gun you referenced in the data excerpt. Also, they are running a Rem 9 1/2 primer, which is known to be the "coolest" primer you can shoot of the major manufacturers. If he has a CCI, Federal, or for sure Winchester primer in there and he happens to be seated a little farther one way or the other from the referenced load, he can easily be to 60,000 where he is. Without signs of pressure, if it shot well, I'd shoot it, too, but I probably wouldn't be trying to beef it up any. I think you hit the nail on the head about the denser ball powder, and if not Hunter, then StaBall or Superformance should certainly give better speeds without pushing the pressure envelope. That's off the top of my head and I'm not referencing any data to see if they even have loads for those powders in the 7-08, but they probably do somewhere. [/QUOTE]
