<Hal S>Loads for 120gr in 7mm-08
Does anyone have any loading info using IMR 4064 in 7-08 with 120 grain bullets? I have a lot of 4064 and was hoping I could find a use for it, but I don't have a manual that lists this powder for this weight bullet. Any suggestions?

JudgeGMy Barnes manual lists 120 grain X bullets at a max load of 42.5 grains of IMR 4064 for 3073 out of a 24 inch barrel. Hope that helps.
Hi
I posted my favorite 7/08 loads in
http://www.serveroptions.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/000023.htmlAmong those are Sierra 120gr sp. with 41gr IMR4064 which during Match, shot a five group of 11,2mm (.44")
Sierras 120gr sp with IMR4064
41gr gave 2650 ft/s Norma brass CCI LR primer
44gr gave 2990 ft/s Norma brass CCI LR primer
and 44 was maxload in my rifle (20" barrel)
If I want higer ft/s I use Lapua brass
