Hey I have a Savage Model 111 in .270win with a 22" barrel. My girl friend has a Savage edge in 7mm-08 with a 22" barrel. I have been hand loading for awhile and we havent started to load 7-08 bullets for her gun.
I am at the starting load for my bullet powder combo. I'm getting just over 2700fps with a 140gr nosler acubond bullet infront of 53.4gr of reloader 19 and a CCI #200 large rifle primer.
Her gun with factory 140gr ammo is getting just shy of 2800fps.
Why is her gun getting higher speeds with less powder?
Is a 22" barrel to short for the .270 win cartridge?
One last question. Would switching to a magnum primer help burn more powder quicker for faster speeds?
