Crap. 120 grBarnes 110 gr TTSX out of 20 inch barrels have always worked great for me
I have a custom 708 AI with a 17 inch barrel and I shoot the 162 eldms with varget and I am getting 2750 out of itLooking for some suggestions on a all around in a 7mm-08. I’ve hunted with that round for the last 20 years in a Remington mnt rifle. Load has been a Barnes 140 gr and varget charge.
I’m having a custom built - ag composite stock, proof 18” barrel, and Kauger VPR action. Glass Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44.
Plan is to use this gun from mule/whitetail deer to elk. 50 yards to 400 yards.
Thank you for for any suggestions.
As many have suggested, 140 gr is the sweet spot for the 08, varget or biggame powder. My current load out of a tikka uses 140 gr accubonds over biggame powder. Another savage 08 like partitions over varget.
I know people get all hung up on this high BC stuff nowadays, and to each their own. Since 95% of all big game is likely taken under 350 yards it's importance is over-blown IMO.
My 7-08 loves the 131 hammers, about 3050 with Staball 6.5, 24" vanguardI am running 131gr Hammer Hunters with Varget and getting great groups with velocities around 3000+ on my Remington Model 7
I’d love to get a link to that so I could learn the details of that load. That’s screaming! What’s their handle?Could probably get more speed with a faster powder although 4166 is pretty quick
Someone on lrh has a 20" suppressed ai over 3100 with the ah and cfe223.
