Quote: Great!!!!!....and may I ask what pressures you're generating to get that performance? May I also ask if you've used the same reloading techniques and pressure estimating to see what velocities you can get out of the standard case? | ||

really? most factory loads for the 7-08 run around 2975 fps. My Ai is running around 3150 to 3185 depending on my powder and bullet combi choice. Thats around 200fps gain with the AI and 26" of barrel. And yes, its enuf to be noticeable. My AI has taken several large whitetails at distances pushing 400yds with one well placed shot. No tracking required for any of em. My buddies 7-08 with 24" tube and factory 140's set to 2 1/2" high @100yds(same way i zero my scope) wont make the trip without some serious holdover. SO MUCH FOR THOSE UN-NOTICEABLE GAINS HUH. | |||

Accurate?????....yup! http://www.accuratereloading.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=883475&page=2&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=21&fpart=1&vc=1 As to comparing it to the .30-06....... for deer and antelope ...it's as good or better for moose and elk........I'll take the .30-06 however....the 7-08 is a fine round for the larger game as well. | |||
