Max velocity out of a 7mm08???

[Robinhood]

Curious on what that is based on? Winchester does not seem to be anything special these days (interested not being smart)

RP would be one of my choices, Lapua for really going to the limits.

Winchester cases often have more volume, lowering presure with a given load.

Yes, just like the LC 7.62 I use for my 260 Rem. have LESS case volume due to the brass being thicker. This increasing pressure given the same amount of powder. However, I use less powder anyway.

i'll be honest I didn't read other people's responses but here's what i'd reccomend based of what i've done/trying with my .308.

first thing i'd try is get the roomiest brass you can find (winchester is it for .308 not sure on 7mm08)
second find the highest bc bullet that your barrel will stabilize and alot of the new vld's have shorter bearing surfaces that will allow more velocity per pressure.
now that you have a long sleek bullet seat that bad boy out till your .010-.020 off the lands (greater case volume)
lastly try some of the newer wonder powders. for .308 I like 2000MR, look at re17 as well but it's temp sensative cfe223 is supposed to be good as well.

there are two bad things to mention going this route, one you'll have to single feed or consider swapping your barrel onto a long action.
two your going to need more elevation to get to targets so a 30moa base or using the reticle will be needed on the big end once your turrets are maxed out.
