Big Game and Varget are all you need to know for the 7-08.

My daughter shot her first elk last year at 362 yards, 140 gr Barnes TSX, Federal premium ammo. One shot kill.

Between her, my wife and my son, they've killed more than 20 whitetail bucks from between 75 and 250 yards, 1 black bear and 1 antelope at 425 yards. Most were shot with 140 gr Federal Fusion ammo. Several were killed with 120 gr Barnes TTSX ammo.

I just purchased another 7mm-08, now I have 3, it is a great cartridge.

When I look at load data for it doesn’t seem like there is another powder that really blows the doors of varget in the velocity department.
Seems varget is always the powder that comes up with that combo when someone mentions it.

I see all these loads for Stabull and CFE-223 but I haven't heard anything from anybody that's truly note worthy. Certainly not enough to make me consider changing from Varget.

Thank you. This hunt was a special/sad hunt for me. I may start a thread about it, but I’m not the best of writers. Lol

Count me in for a read!

Thanks. I posted a write up over in the elk section under the title ‘a special/sad hunt.’
