Hornady data?

[Boomer454]

Does any one have the newest Hornady manual?

I need the Min and Max loads for the 7MM-08 Rem with 120 grain spire points and Hogdon Varget.

Thanks in advance!

"...Hogdon Varget..." Hodgdon's site. Who made the bullet doesn't matter.
42.5 to 45.0.

If you want Hornady info, Hornady #7....H.Varget= start 34.7gr, Max 43.7gr.

I love how one set of data is so much different from the other!! I usually go with my Lee second edition, which is the same date as Hodgdon's site!

Looking at the little booklet that comes with Lee presses and stuff, I think they just use Hodgdon data.

Once upon a time we used to get a starting load from some loading chart. Then we worked up from there in our rifle, one grain at a time. When we got pressure signs we didn't like, we dropped back a grain, or so, and that was our load for our rifle. We may have been under, or quite often over, what the loading book said was max.
But who cared? We had a safe load in our rifle.

"...how one set of data is so much different..." Has to do with the powder lot, primer, the firearm used and the environment on the day of the tests.

You forgot the major reason.
How afraid are they of being sued!
