Just put a 7mm-08 bbl on my model 7. The only mold I have right now, is the Lee 130gr (C285-130-R) with gas check. I can't seem to find any data for it. The ONLY cast data I CAN find, is in my RCBS cast bullet manual, and that is for 140 & 160s. I sure would like some help. I want to run it up to 2000-2200fps, if I can. Thanks,,,,,,,,,Bug.

Bug, I'd be willing to use starting data for the 7x57 in a 7-08. The two cartridges are close enough to do that although there might be a couple of grains of difference at the top end. You won't get in any trouble starting off at 20 grains of RE-7, 5744, or either of the 4198s. Just work up from there watching for pressure signs and accuracy. If you have a chrongraph, watch that too.
