Which bullet? Do you have a specific bullet or wgt in mind? Do you have a preferance in powder? Most of the powder companies have some data on their web sites. http://stevespages.com/page8.htm is a good place to look also. | |||

Any good 140-145gr bullet and 39-41grs of H4895. I've read of some guys having good success with varget but haven't tried any. Don't want to fix what ain't broke. | |||

My Vote definitely goes to using RL 15 in any 308 sized case. Jay G's loads above should do the trick on anything you can legally hunt in Britain. Good luck! | |||

Jeff, Have you found that the magnum primers are that much more accurate than with a standard Rem. or CCI LR primer? There's no way my loads are going to be more accurate using a mag primer, I'll get 3 in small ragged hole and 2 just a bit outside of the other 3. What are you getting for accuracy with your load?

Jay, I rarely use non mag primers.... this load is my go-to load for an unknown gun... just set bullets to cannalure and see how it shoots... if not tuned, i get, in 4 different guns, usually right at or under moa... works pretty well,,,, ever poped primers in an empty case? mags make fire shoot out the end, so i believe that they are still burning when the bullet is out of the barrel. jeffe | |||

My favorite 7mm-08 load for deer sized game is the 145gr Speer SBT--49grs of WW760--CCI-250..R.P.case. Vel for this load in my 24" barreled BBR clockes 2898ft/sec, and in my rifle groupes 3/4 moa.Good load | |||

My Browning A-Bolt loves - 139g Hornady BTSPI, 40.0g of IMR 3031 and CCI BR-2 Primers in R-P Brass. I took several nice Texas Whitetails and a Big Sow Hog with this load, all perfect 1 shot kills. Accuracy is right on 1". IMR-3031 isn't the normal powder one would think of when loading for a 7-08 but the usual wasn't working for me with the A-Bolt till I hit this combo. Scout Master 54 | |||
