Thread: 7mm08 - Hornady 11 th edition 150 ELD-X Superformance Load data

GPM.

but being such a fine grained powder,that 3 grns will easily fit...
its GREAT to see reloading data once again for a range of different projectiles given same load....common sence once more prevails...if not hot rodding load the difference will be sweet stuff all and pressures wont be over the top.

Just fill her up and bombs away

Mate have you got the page for 162projectiles? Just picked up some superformance and looking to cross reference a starting load.

You'll struggle to fit enough Superformance in the 7mm08 case to cause an over-pressure situation, even with a stupidly long 3"+ COAL

Hornady data:

@SPEARONZ it goes well in the 7mm08. Best velocity of any powder I've tried. 162gr ELD-M @ 2690, 20" barrel...

Perfect thanks

Yea I’m running close to 3” and 2208 leaves a lot of empty case capacity.
