7-08 bullet weight and velocity

[yodave]

okay so what are you using for bullet weight and what are your velocities, real world concrete numbers established with nothing more then a reliable chronograph?? I am loading 40's again right now and will chrony in the morning, but this I do know

federal fusion 140 grain gets 2820 in a T3 rifle, so is this my benchmark or should I be aiming for more speed??

Dave if you meant 2820fps with the 140gr in 7mm08, that's what my boy is getting with a max load of IMR-4895 & a 140gr Nosler. In his T/C venture

We get 2750-2800 accuracy node in the two 7-08's we have with 140 NAB - can get more velocity but would rather go with the accuracy.
