Thread: 162 gr ELD-M for a Tikka T3X 7mm-08. help please..

First time reloading for 7mm08, have been trying to establish Max COAL or jam point I guess, for the ELD-M. didn't have the necessary bits and pieces for Overall length gauge. So just used the old case/ projectile/ and loctite method.. Ended up with a Max COAL of 2.952'.. or 75 mill, a bit shorter than what I was expecting.. Not sure I I got that right? Will obviously be retesting with all the tools tommorow..However if I am right, I will be loading my initial test rounds and I am not sure how far I should back off? my understanding is that the 7mm 08 needs a bit of bullet jump. knowing that there are of people on here that have done this already. I am hopeing someone can tell me how to best proceed .
