Pet Loads for 7mm-08 w/Barnes 145 gr?

[mtluckydan]

Tried some CFE 223 with mediocre results - anybody have a pet load for 7-08 w/barnes 145 bullets. Sounds like RL17 might have some promise but not in my inventory and not finding any at the moment. What do you got??

I've been using H414 for 25 plus years.

BLC-2 is my goto for 7-08

I know some folks like Ramshot BG in their 7MM-08

what handwerk said. Ramshot Big Game. I use 47.0 grains with a 140 accubonds and e-tips, others use 46.0 with a 150 ELDX.

Have also heard good results with R-16 and PowerPro 2000MR but haven’t used them since I have Big Game.

Just to let you know H414 is discontinued but is the same as Win760 and you can find it fairly easy

I've tried H4895, W760, RE15. H4895 & a 139 gr interlock usually give the best results out of my Savage 16.

Seated depth minus. .050 @ 2.787

47.5g of big game

I think it is actually the 145 and not the 140.

It shoots really well and rather hot. The book had it listed slightly higher max but this load was max with my gun.

Shoots less than 1 moa. 100% Factory gun
