7MM-08 Load Data

[hoogie514]

I have interest in loading 100 Gr. Sierra Varmiter bullets in my 7-08 and need load data in regards to IMR3031. I know the bullet is a bit light but, I'm going to try coyotes with it this winter and want optimum range. Any load data is much appriciated.

There's what it says on the Hodgdon website for a 115gr bullet...

I know you're thinking about the 100gr. Sierra, but I think I'd find some 120 vmax. I've yet to try them, but a few folks I've talked to use the same charge of R15 under 120 TSX, and 120 vmax, depending on the quarry, and report fantastic results. Course, we can't carry anything bigger than a .224 cal after our big game tags are punched, here in NB, so I can't vouch for this myself...

I have the components already, would like data pertinent to the 100 gr. sierra and IMR 3031. Will be picking up some 120 Barnes components soon though!
