7mm-08 pet loads?
Anyone have some load data that works well for them in 7mm08? Not immediately going to get after it, but just like to hear what works for others.

Ryan, do you have any load data that you've tried for the 7mm08?

I don't have one, Steve. I have heard that they are not very picky, and the 4350 burn rate of powder works well in them. I know that you have some Varget, and it was designed for the .308, which is the parent case to the 7mm-08, so it should be a good fit, also.

32 gr H4895 120 gr Sierra pro hunter. Youth load.
43 gr H4895 120 gr S pro hunter.
44.5 gr varget 120gr S pro hunter.
43gr varget 140gr Sierra Game King HP.
48 gr H4350 140 Sierra GKHP. Best of my knowledge this is a compressed load.
Remington primers in all loads.
C.O.A.L. 2.780" in all loads.
Im sure most of these can be found in the books. I just went though my books with Sierra bullets. and posted those that shot an inch or less at a hundred yards.

I can send you some loads with the 120 Nosler BT and the 139 SST but will have to dig deeper. I picked Sierra cause they shoot great and perform the same.

Re: 7mm-08 pet loads?
Thanks AO! I do plan to utilize any Varget load that I can tho, b/c it seems to be a good powder for this caliber, and b/c I have the most of it.
