Thread: 7mm 162 ELD-M at 2700 fps. Experiences?

2209 will give slightly more velocity than 2208 with 162 eldm in 7mm08.

Must be using something like superformance to get 2640 in a 18". Either that or just way overpressure.

Mate on here is 2750 with 2208 in his factory 20.4 inch barrel. Its over book max but not by alot

Yep that's what I was curious to know, maybe RL17 hence asking the question as I'm only getting mid 2500s before hitting pressure signs with 18 inch barrel. Plenty of people publish their load data, but Kelton has something against this for some reason. People are adults and can make that call themselves, if they can't then they shouldn't be reloading.

Correct this is a forum its a wealth of load data but often top end loads are exchanged via pm one of my reasons for doing do is so its not found on google . Peoples level of experience vary and I dont want to contributeto damaged gear or worse injury.

The same cartridge doesnt mean you can use the same data. Between my rifle and a good friends hes 70fps faster for the exact same charge same brand barrel same reamer.


2208 will see these velocitys in certain rifles not in others plain and simple yes some powders will be faster some will be slower some will hit pressure quicker itll depend on the individual rifle.
