Building an Elk Load - 7mm08

I think the accuracy is with the faster burning powder. Mine shoot the 139 hornady with 4350 in to small little groups. Also shoots the already hornady loaded 139 bullets sub moa all the time. I been refining the 162 and 168 but I get 3 close together and then it spits the 4th and 5th out of the group. So it puts me at shooting a 5 shot group just under or right at MOA. Sometimes this just drives me nuts. Could be a bedding issue. Heat issue, or something. Stock Begara 22 inch that I put a break on and changed out the trigger. It would be nice to have this in a mid weight 24 to 26 inch barrel. But it works. My 168 are going 2680. So for me I think 700 yards on the ABLR would be good. I'm not ashamed to say I also will shoot a deer with just 1000ft of energy either. It will still kill them dead in there tracks with correct shot placement.
