7mm Accuracy bullet, what to try??

[Kelly Timoffee]

I will be developing a target/accuracy load for my 7mm-08.
Wondering what folks have had good luck with.
i am thinking Sierra Match Kings in 150gr. or should i go higher in weight??
What are the opinions on Bergers??
Anything else that people are using???

I haven't run the Bergers, and no longer have a 7mm. I used to shoot a Savage heavy 110 in 7mm RM and got great results with 162gr Amaxes.

Sierra's are excellent bullets for accuracy but don't neglect bullet weight. I had an 06 once that would not shoot with anything lighter than 200 grains.....but it shot WELL with those.

Sierra and Berger would be my top choices and go from there...

Berger 140gr is what you should try next. FS

If all you're interested in is accuracy, try Sierra BTHP Match 130 grain bullets and a mid-range load of IMR 4064. My XHR is averaging 1/2" groups with that bullet/powder combo. Best I've done is .310", largest is .675"

(WW brass, WLR primer) O.A.L in my rifle is 2.785"

Try some Hornady Spirepoints. Quite a bit tougher than the sierra, bullet, cheap and accurate.

I have a box of 140gr Nosler Partitions and some 120gr Nosler Round Nose if anyone wants to try them.

Well I have placed an order.................
130 and 150 grain match kings. I will see what happens with those, I talked to a few folks and some replies on here.I was surprised, more than a couple of guy suggest 130 grain. I went to a 1 in 9 twist so from the normal 9.25, not sure how much it will influence things but this is all about trial and error.

Again thanks for the suggestions.
