QUOTE=gitrdun;2581325]I'm a huge fan of the 7-08 as is obvious by some of my posts in the past. I've loaded 120gr Sierra Pro-Hunters and 120gr BT's for it and there is no way that I can safely reach 3220 fps. I'm quite content with staying around the 2950fps mark. I'd seriously look at that 3220fps brass for signs of over pressure.[/QUOTE]

That is a safe load in my rifle!! I use cfe223 powder and 49.5 is listed as the max load on the hodgdon website . Brass is still good after being loaded 3 times. The same load was even a little quicker with 120 BTs.
