[QUOTE="fmuguira, post: 2063259, member: 27974"] 139 gr Hornady, both btsp and sp, have a short bearing surface. Might try stepping on the gas with that 4350 and work up to 48-49 grs. I shoot 48 with same bullet. Also my oal is 2.80 which is seating right on the cannelure. Have had good luck with those 2 bullets. If groups don’t tighten up, powders from 4895 to H380 burn rates are all good too. The 7-08 with 140 gr weight range bullets will tolerate many powders. Work up with whichever powder you re trying. If you have access to a chronograph while building your load that’s very useful. Depending on barrel length you should see 2750 to 2850 FPS and typically those velocities provide solid accuracy. Lastly if it still doesn’t come around try a 140 ballistic tip or 140 GK or Pro-Hunter. If you don’t get 1 moa or better groups after that dig into the scope mounts, bedding, etc. Good luck [/QUOTE]
