Sounds great! I am a big fan of the 7mm-08 and don't have a legitimate reason for not owning one. Another ball powder just faster than typically recommended but recommended for .308 and .223 is Ramshot TAC. It would make for an interesting combination. It is very fine and dense so metering is excellent. I bought it to load .308 but I bet it would work for your application as well. How effectively, I can't say.

Well. I came real close back in the days of the Remington 788 and I'll always regret not getting the 788. Lately, I've been pondering another cartridge since Savage decided to make 6.5 X 284 a standard chambering. Good luck on the hunt this season.
