7mm-08 AI on Small Primer Brass

In a few of my 7-08 AIs, I use 42.8-43.0 grains of Varget, 162gr AMax, 24"brl, and get 2820-2835 fps

That is impressive when you think I am besting that by just over 100 fps and using almost 60gr. of IMR4831 in a 7 SAUM. That 7mm-08 is running pretty efficiently. That's what I am looking for.

Just wanted to ask you guys how many 7mm-08 shooters use SRP brass when reloading either standard or AI? I asked the fellas at Alpha if they ever considered it and they said they never had a request for SRP 7mm-08 brass and I just found that strange.

I know I make mine out of .260 SRP Alpha brass. It isn't a big deal, I would just like the 7mm-08 head stamp since I have a .260 AI.

10-4, that is what I was thinking too. I just found it strange that Alpha said they never had a request for 7mm-08 SP brass when just about everyone I speak with forms it out of small pocket brass. I think they make all the 7mm SAW brass on small pockets.

I can definitely do that too, it would just be nice to have the correct caliber on the head.
