[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1551363, member: 2736"] The best way to get more velocity for the 7/08 Is to AI it. I don't shoot bullets heavier than 150's because of the velocity the 7/08 can produce with it's case capacity. If chambered like PO Ackley recommended, you can shoot factory 7/08 ammo in it with great accuracy while fire forming. then load the AI cases for another 100 to 150 ft/sec. the plus side to the 7/08 AI is more velocity and better case life. I have both the 7/08 and the 7/08 AI and find them to be very effective with the 7/08 AI pushing a 140 grain bullet at the same velocity as the 7/08 with a 120 grain bullet. MY fastest accurate load with the 120 in the 7/08 is 3155 ft/sec. The 7/08 AI will push the 140 grain (not a maximum load) to 3148. I don't recommend shooting the heavy bullets because of the reduction in velocity at the POI but if the heavies are what you want, the 7/08 AI might add 100 ft/sec to the big bullet.
