Probably because there’s not much difference, practically speaking.OK, nice! Have to take a look into the Hammers. Not to many reputable bullets at 130gr for 7mm-08. Always wondered why, most seem to be 120/140/150.

View attachment 480662Bang Flop at 80yrds factory 150g eldx. Found remains in off side shoulder. Hit rib dead center on entry and exit. Exit hole was half dollar size. He internals were jelly.
Any chance you would share the load?Those 131 hammers worked great from my 7-08
It was 43 grains of Varget under the 131's. Gave me 3k and superb accuracy. Bang-flop performance with very little bloodshot meat.Any chance you would share the load?
Man that's cruising for a 140 out of a 7mm-08. But some barrels are just fast and I've come across a few Savage barrels that were really fast for whatever reason.I'm in CA so I shoot all copper out of my 7-08. My gun is a savage 110. I shoot the 140 grain Barnes TTSX. 47.5 grains of big game at 2965 fps. I think the spread was around 9 FPS. I have a Magento speed chrono and just measured it last week. I was a little surprised with the vehicle got.
Interesting that through my wife's 7-08, with a 2" shorter barrel, the same load shoots 2805 FPS.
We have four 7-08 rifles and one in 7-08 AI. They have all been fairly easy to devlope lands for and are appropriately sized for blacktail, black bear and pigs.

I wish I could find 140 Accubonds- I wouldn’t have 600 150 ELDX.

Yeah, that's in 7-08AI territory for usre. Likely over-pressure in the regular version.Man that's cruising for a 140 out of a 7mm-08. But some barrels are just fast and I've come across a few Savage barrels that were really fast for whatever reason.
They work just like and cup and core aka non bonded bullet. Complete separation on both moose we shot but they were under 100yrds and both hit ribAs im in the process of going to a 7-08 from 7 mag, im heavily considering the eldx. I shot the eldx in the 7mag and was only ever impressed by it. Id assume the same out of the 7-08.
Anyone have any catastrophic failures with the eldx? Ive heard stories of failures trying to shoot through a front shoulder. This would make sense depending on speed and due to the bullet construction.
How do the 150 grain ELDX perform on elk out of the 7mm-08? 20” Tikka barrel. Thanks.
140 Accubonds and RL-17 for me. Deadly and accurate combo, though I might experiment with a more temp stable powder and heavier bullet. Problem for me is max mag length restriction. May just experiment with Varget and H4350 with the Accubond.
Kimber.If you’re talking about a Tikka, swap out the bolt stop for a long action, and use 30-06 mags. Easy peasy.
