I have a Husky 5000 that I would like to download to 7-08 levels to make it useful around here (TN). I will have 140 and 154 grain bullets

Anyone have some good download reload data???

iirc hodgdons has some reduced loads available online.
if you still can't find any give them a call.
they should have something available with sr-4759, and h-4895.

I use blue dot with a 120 BT. Very nice.

I've never been a real fan of bluedot loads. I know many love them I simply don't. A factory 7-08 with a 140 is loaded to 2800fps. Hodgdon and most loading manuals will list any number of 7mag loads starting in the 2800fps range.

I had several hundred 140 Sierra's 7mm. I don't hunt anymore but love to shoot my 7 Mag, so I load them with 41 grs H4895. It will make one small hole at 100 yds. Haven't checked the vel.

Hey TCLouis
Just curious, what exactly are your hunting circumstances?.. How far are you shooting at game? I'm assuming your hunting whitetails?

ive heard of people reducing their charges and adding poly fill to make up for the extra space in the case but unsure of how much they use.

Here are a couple of sites that may be helpful:

Thank you one and all.

That should get me going.

So far it is a great plinker with cast projies.

What 7mm Mag are you talking about??? There must be about 20 different ones. Can you guys give me some reduced loas for a 30 cal and 35. I have always wondered why more people have not blow themselves up reloading.
