I used the last of a can of H414 with 150 ELDX for my 7-08 Tikka.
Good velocity and accuracy out of a 20" suppressed barrel.
I bought Win760 on sale based upon internet lore saying it's the same as H414 but my Hornady manual says otherwise.
Anybody loading the 7-08 using Win760 for 150 ELDX and Barnes LRX 145s?
TIA.

Nothing on that, but I'm getting good velocity with H380 150 Corelokt 2750 sd plus or minus. New to 7mm 08 game, I like it.

Best velocity in the 7-08 will come from Ramshot Big Game and Winchester SB 6.5.

I'm getting excellent accuracy out of my 18" 7-08 with 46.7 48.5gr of SB 6.5 and Federal Fusion 150. (EDITED as the previous numbers were for the 162 ELDX- apologies!)

Quickload says they are they same. I have used both and in my experience they are the same. Do your due diligence as if you had a new lot number of H414 and just load.

Thanks.
I bought SB6.5 for the same application.

You're welcome and 46.7gr of SB 6.5 under the 162 ELDx is also a very accurate load in my rifle. I hit pressure at 47.2, backed off .5, and it's shooting right around 1 MOA 10-shot groups. In the attached pic I shot the first 6 rounds, made an adjustment, and shot the remaining 7 I had.

Even different lots of the same powder will be slightly different! All the articles I've read say H414 is the same as W760!
