I have been loading for 7mm-08 for about three years in three different rifles and H4350 has performed the best in all hands down with 140 and 145 gr bullets. It is a little compressed but not a problem. | |||

Try around 42 grains of RE15 with the 139's. My most accurate load is 42 gr RE15 with Nosler 140 gr AccuBounds. S40 Youth and vitality are wasted on the young. | |||

43.1 Varget produces cloverleaf for me out of my Mod 700 LVSF in 7mm/08. | |||

First off, Welcome to AR tcrash!  Well I have gone through the H4350 and IMR4350 and H414 with so so results in a Savage mod 14 and the 140grn Accubond. The H414 did have the advantage in group size but it was starting to get a little "harder" to lift the bolt as the group was shrinking. I have heard that H414 can be a little temp sensitive and it was fairly cool when I was shooting and can get kinda warm where I hunt so I ruled it out for anymore testing. (not that the "highest velocity" is in my must haves for a good round BUT it is nice) There is brass in the tumbler already necksized getting ready to get a Fed 210 and Varget. I will also be trying the RE15 to see what we can come up with. The nice thing about the Varget is it is an "Extreme" powder which they claim is not temp sensitive.

Thanks for all the help, I am going to load up a handfull and see what works best. I have a bunch of magnum rifle primers that I use for my 7mm rem mag., can I use these primers or shoul I use a non magnum primer? | |||
|
| one of us |
I would use non magnum in the 7mm08. All my loads are the CCI BR2(benchrest). | |||

Agreed! You don't need a M primer in such a small volume. (unless gonna use ball powder in extreme cold, then I would consider) ______________________ Smedley ______________________ From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

I've beel loading for my 7mm/08 for over 18yrs, and still find the best powder for 140 gr bullets to be WW 760. I also find H 380 and H 414 to also be very good. "300 Win mag loaded with a 250 gr Barnes made a good deer load". Elmer Keith | |||
