[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1487482, member: 29370"] Look into a 7mm 08 with a Wyatt 3.0 mag box. I can seat 162 ELDm at 2.980 COAL and if you have the chamber set correct you can have a CBTO of around 2.232 with a 10 thou jump. If I run 168 VLDs at a CBTO of 2.203 they jump 56 thou to the lands with the same COAL. The ogive on these bullets is quite different. I've got a bartlien 3b LT bull 25.5 inch barrel on it. The load I chose pushes them just over 2800 fps and gives over 1800 + fps / 1200 + ftlb of e at 1000 yards with ELD'm. FYI I'm shooting at 8,000 ft and higher altitude. Using CCI 250 with 42.4 of Varget. I get .4 and .5 groups with an ES of 4 and ES of 10ish with the VLDs and recently shot a 1 5/8 inch group at 600 yards with the ELD'M. Basically I'm getting 280 Remington performance and at this altitude can easily get 2900+ without pressure hello 7mm wsm / saum velocities. But I'm not interested since 2800 fps gives me what I need out 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
