what up with that.
I would love to be able to load to those velocites.
This sounds like a job for IMR7828 SSC
I was able to boost my .243 from 2800fps(42g IMR4350)-3050fps 47.5g 7828, shooting Rem 100g bullets, with my 22inch barreled Mossberg SSI-One. With no pressure signs. Neck sized brass. Moly Coated bullets.
With a 24-26inch barrel maybe you could be able ta get that velocity with a 140g bullet in the 7-08
