So far I'm partial to:

120TTSX and 47.5g Varget

My brother uses the 120TSX over 44.5gr of R15 and gets about 2930 out of it. BUT of course work up to it for your gun....

For the longest time it was 42 1/2 grains of Varget with a 140 grn Sierra GK sitting up top I since switched to 140 grn Accubonds

you forget the moly......

that load needs some work, but shoots fine as is..

140gr Sierra GK with 47.0grs AR2209 (4350) for 2900fps out of a 24" barreled Remington SPS

45 gr. IMR4350 behind 140 gr. TSX. And Federal primers every time.

145 Gr. Speer over 47 Gr of W-760 . Approach with caution , this load is 1 Gr. over the max in Speer # 14 .

43 grs of RL-15 with any 140. i use the sierra BTSP

My current load is 39.3 grains of RL-15 behind a 140 grain Nosler Partition. Not very fast at only 2558 fps, but pretty darn accurate in my rifle.

I've been using 48g or H414 with the hornady 139grs, this is my metallic silloutte load and tracts perfectly on the ballictic tables for come up/downs at 2900fps. In my vanguard 24" barrel

140 Nosler AB over 42.0 gr RL-15. Very accurate hunting load in my rifle -- S40

Like Big Bird said. My 7mm08 is a Rem 700. Nice short little rifle. My favorite for sitting in a tree stand.

My 7-08 just loves H-380

120 ballistic tips, 48.5 grains H414. Not super fast, but I'm fine with that.

I am travelling for the last month and so I do not have the exact powder charge... but here is the sumary

150 gr Rem corelokt & AR 2208 (Varget) 2780fps
150 gr TSX BaRNES & ar 2208 - 2820 FPS

I also have a good load with N160 & above bullets.

Both are very accurate and safe in my Kimber Montana.

48 grains of H414 under a 140 grain nosler ballistic tip. Some books say this is well over max. But the hotter I pushed them the more accurate the rifle shot. I am getting about 2800 fps out of a 18 barreled model 7. I get ragged holes for groups. Sighted in at 250 and I am good out to about 350 without any adjustment or hold over. Longest shot I have taken was 310. Hit low lungs deer went about 90 yards. Bullet exited and did plenty of damage.

42gr AR2208 (Varget I believe) with either 140gr Nosler Balistic tips or Acubonds, very accurate.

In a number of Rem 700's a bud of mine 's fav. load is with IMR 4350 powder and the Speer 145gr bullet, a moose and elk killer and a great grouper at distance, but nothing special on paper at 100 yards. FS
