[QUOTE="fireman13, post: 2510998, member: 122958"] I have been testing loads for a 7mm-08 Browning X Bolt with a 22" 1 in 9.5 twist barrel with similar goals. I am group testing several good nodes with 150 TTSX today and will post the results. I am also testing 140 gr Absolute Hammers in similar charges of IMR 4895. I have also had very good results with 140 and 150 gr TSx and TTSX over H380. This is a powder that I have been able to find lately due to it being somewhat more temp sensitive than Varget and other similar burn rate powders. My best charges of H380 for 150 TTSX has been 42.0g, which hit chrono around 2650. That seems to be the speed where all three of my (including two adult kids) rifles like to shoot 150s. I have decided that 350 is about the farthest I am comfortable shooting Elk with these loads. I will likely be using my 7mm Rem Mag with 150 or 160s for Elk at the 500 yd ranges going forward.
