Try 2208 with the 162eldm..standard 22" barrel will comfortably get 2650. Very good on game out to very reasonable distances. I use this combination a lot in a t3. 40.5grs at 71.5mm oal. Also 41.5grs works well but work up to it.

@Danny be interested to hear how you get on. Suspect those 150gr loads will be hot...
Thanks mate, be hoping these 162’s perform like I expect them too.
I’ve had a few in the 7mm’s and never seen the 162 and 150SP not shoot well.
These 150’s also fit in the magazine easily, so am happy, hoping they group well down at the 41, 41.5 or 42 weight for a consistent accurate load.

@Danny I tried RL17 with the 162 eldm, all loads shot sub MOA. Keen to try 2208 as well due to temp stability.
So got on the wagon and had a go with162gr eldx in a standard t3 708. Used 2208 for the horsepower. Did 3 strings starting a 42.7gr, 43gr and 43.3gr. The 42.7gr came out tops with 2768fps average and sub moa groups. The other loads only added slight more velocity but groups spread.
72.10mm. Slight flat primers but no craters. I hand loaded them with the mag in as they a bit long. The 43.3gr had pressure issues.
22" with suppressor
