Heading to the range in the next day or two I did a ladder test with RL17 and the 130gr Speer SPBT, it seems to have a sweet spot right at published max loads of 48.5 gr of RL17. So I have made up some test rounds from 47.8 to 49.5 see if I can get a good group. At 3100 fps zeroed at 200 yards software has me 3" high at 100 yards, 4" low at 330 yards! at 4500 ft altitude, 1755 lbs energy at 330 yards. Max trajectory height is only 3" between 90 and 210 yards. If it works out this will be one good mule deer load. Any of you 7mm-08 shooters have a good flat shooting load worked up?
