7mm-08
Re: 7mm-08 7mm-08 owners, how much faster can you push a 162 Amax compared to a 175 SMK? 1,000 yard wind drift seem like a wash if I figure 100fps faster for the 162 Amax using Litz G7s for both...- CrawDad338

Savage rebarrel project...
Re: Savage rebarrel project... What about a 7mm-08 or a .260? With a Savage you don't need a shorter cartridge like Creedmoor or 6.5x47 to fit longer high BC projectiles in the magazine. Creedmoor and 6.5x47 are excellent for magazines limited to a 2.8 COAL but Savage has more room, why leave...- CrawDad338

175gr Sierra HPBT
Re: 175gr Sierra HPBT Gravity/range is a constant and very easy to adjust for.. wind is the butt kicker, because of this 175s all day long @ 1k. BTW the Sierra 168s catastrophically fail/tumble once they go subsonic, the 175s don't. Litz G7s 178 Hornady HPBT 0.257 175 SMK 0.243- CrawDad338

Need for speed... Power Pro 2000-MR vs Reloader 17
I noticed in Alliant 2012 Reloader's Guide and the .308 section they list Power Pro 2000-MR (48.5gr) pushing a 180gr Federal Fusion @ 2,760fps or 119fps faster than what's listed for RL-17 (48.7gr) and 180gr Speer BTSP.
