I agree with littleking..

FYI on the 7mm-08.
The load I've had great luck with is:
Barnes 140 gr. TTSX Boat Tail.
43.0 gr of H-380
CCI BR2 Primer
I used mixed brass..

Give it a try..

I have several barrels each one is different on optimal reloading characteristics.

Mine too.. My 223 has a deep chamber which I adjust my dies for.. My 270 loves them coreloks so I try to duplicate them.. The 7mm08 no issue at all... I'm still playing with.. Shooting about 1.5" now but it will be under 1" when I'm done . The pistol barrels are easy..

as with all things reloading,having all things the same for each case gives more constant results,headspace is no different,improper headspace can cause multiple problems,the best explanation and tools for this i have found on bellm's site for headspace getting it right
