Hi all.
I am after powder recommendations, for here in the UK, as we don't have all the available powders that other countries have. I would prefer a single based powder to help prolong barrel life as much as I can. Accuracy is everything to me.
It is not for excessive ranges, 350m max on deer but may have a play on steel out to 600 or so.
I've a 7mm-08, 22 inch barrel with a 1:8 twist, (pictured because, why the heck not! ), and fancy working up a load with the Hornady 162gn ELD-M.
I only have Vihtavuori N140 and N150 at the moment for my usual loads with 120gn and 140gn bullets. I get 1/4 MOA at 100 on a good day but a very consistent 1/2 MOA with the sierra pro hunter bullets I currently use.
Suggestions please?
Many thanks
