Marty7mm-08 loads-conclusion
Finally got that Weatherby Super Predatormaster to shoot. After 4 powders (W748, W760, Ramshot big game, H4350) and two bullets.
With a Barnes 140 TSX over 47.5gr H4350 and CCI 200, 0.6moa at 2840fps. This guy would NOT shoot factory ammo worth a damn.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

<9.3x62>What kind of velocities are you getting with H4350? I've been using some with the 130 Speer and have been stunned at the low velocities - 50 grains giving only about 2750 fps out of a 24" barrel...

Looks like 2840fps....

<9.3x62>Yes, but is that an ACTUAL velocity or a guessed-at velocity based on a loading manual?

Thomas JonesGlad to hear you got her shooting !
Should you be so inclined as to try othrt powders, i would sugjest Varget and RL-15.
I sold my 7mm08 years ago but it liked those 2 and so did any 308 i ever had, That is untill i got my pre64 featherweight. I did'nt shoot very well at all till i tries IMR 4064, witch works real well and also in my 7X57 mauser...

Kinda figured it was an actual velocity since ya had a nice .6moa group to go along with it.
