[QUOTE="Marble, post: 996856, member: 51354"] That's why I stopped at 50.0 yesterday and loaded three. Going slow is better when working up a load. Normally when you get a good hot load I'll get some primer flattening. I didn't have any at all with 47.0 of IMR4350. These Ackley cases really last. The primer pockets don't grow much if any, the cases don't seem to stretch much either. The necks don't grow, but they will split after 4 firings or so. SO I anneal them and they last another 4-5 firings. I'm shooting the Nosler AB 140. I use it for deer and blackbear here locally. I eventually will have to make a copper only bullet load because I live in CA. It's such horse****. I was thinking the same thing. I think that a lot of info on .308 loading should be able to partially applied to the 7-08. I'm packing up for a backpacking trip today, taking a friend to go kill a muley up in the warner mountains.. So hopefully next week I'll get enough time to go over to the range to shoot and chrono my loads. I love this little gun. Eventually I'm going to put a custom barrel on it around 26". [/QUOTE]
