RE: 7mm-08 Favotrite loads
I tried some IMR 3031 37.5 grains with the Hornady 139 grain SP bullets so far so good: I did find my barrel like a little travel before the bullet enters the lands and grooves.I most of the time shoot 15 thou off the lands but this gun barrel in 7MM-08 has a mind of it own at 2.800 it will tack drive the 139 gainers.I tried longer C.O.A.L. and always get a few flyer's in a 5 shot string 2.860 :I seem to have a 2.875 that the single shot will close on Max:
I am going to try next year some 120 grain bullets SP more then enough for deer
