I have heard that 120 nosler bt is really good in a short 7mm08 i will be trying them next year. My bush load is a 145 spear boattail doing 2500 opens up real nice

When I was using 125 ABs in my 16" 308 I was getting 2950fps with H335. I know the 308 is slightly different (more volume in the bore) but 2600fps does seem slow.

This is the exact load I was about to work up to in my rifle, so interested to hear that. I don't have a chrono but will report back on accuracy. If I don't have much joy with 2206 I'll give...

The 150gr SGK's will work great mate, if a rifle won't shoot them well, it wont shoot anything! And their terminal performance is great too. I've used them as a mag fir load over the years in my 7mm...
