Thread: 7mm TGK

Hey folks so my brother in law has asked me to load for his 7mm08 Tikka.

It's away to get shortened to 18" and a DPT with stainless baffle added.

I managed to locate some 7mm projectiles which was very useful so to those who replied in the buy and sell section thank you.

I've got plenty of 2208 and some Sierra 150gr TGK. Which I have never used personally(TMK however I use exclusively).

I've started around the middle of the book for a optimal charge test with the most similar projectile I could find.

So I've got 40.0,40.5,41.0,41.5(book max), 41.8 and lastly 42.1gr
Using Remington brass.
COAL is 2.765 due to the magazine.

Once rifle is back from gunsmithing work I'll get see how we go for pressure.

But the crux of my post is what are people's experiences with the 150 TGK/ game changers ? This is a do it all to 500m as he would like to do more tops stuff.

Thanks for the helpful replies folks but I simply don't know what these rounds go like on deer so hence the query.
