Reloading for 7MM-08 Rem.

[dls1951dls]

Would like some input on powder; bullets; primers & AOL for the 7mm-08.

try a search in the reloading section but IMR 4350 and 140 grain bullets are good places to start assuming you want a good hunting load not a varmit or sillouette load.

Welcome to CGN...you've come to the right place...just the wrong forum
Reloading forum is where you'll find the best info. Can't go wrong with h4895 or varget.

Pvt message me, i just did some extensive load development.

h4350 or RL17 and a 140gr bullet designed for what you're hunting. Large rifle primers and OAL will be dependent on your rifle, but 2.8" will get you close

Win760 for the 140gr bullet in 7-08 or 7x57..........................mag primer........Harold

 

[Jordan Smith]

41.5gr Varget, Fed210, WW brass, Horn 139gr BTIL, seated to the cannelure. That will be a good starting point, at least.

 

[Redhouse]

Varget and 760 both worked for me with 140's, 760 so far is terrific with 154 SST's.

Agreed, the Hogdon H414 and W760 are the best performers in this aplication.

 

[todbartell]

Ive read that H414 & W760 don't handle temperature extremes well? Might be a consideration if developing hunting handloads for our climate up here. It can be +25 in september and -25 in November here

Stay away from ball powder Hard to ignite Extreme fps loss in cold weather With 140gr. Varget ,4064 any medium burners also there is plenty of data on the net go exploring.

Thanks for all the imput. I will be deleting this thread in a few days.

 

[Why not?]

H4350 and magnum primers works at +80F when sheep hunting, and -30F on caribou and wolf hunts.

Be sure to give the 160 Accubond a try. Hits very hard, and shoots plenty flat out to 300 yd. One bullet for everything!
