Default Best 7MM-08 powder.

Happy New Year All !!!
I got a new Rem Mod 7 lam stock for X Mas. I will be reloading in the Nosler BT,s 120 Gto 140 G Accubondbullet range. Please give me some first hand info on what powder to start out with. I already have a bunch of other 7 Mil bullets to try but want to start with these two first. Thanksin advance.
I am in the middle of glass bedding and free floating with a trigger job next on the list. Please assist.

Highly suggest 140gr gamekings. No need for bonded accubonds IMO>

Good powders include Varget, IMR4064, and strangely enough, I have wonderful luck with IMR4350. My most accurate load is 46gr of IMR4350 and 140gr gameking

I went through H380 and Varget before I found out my rifle (700CDL) liked IMR 4350 and 139 gr. Hornady SP. Some say 4064 is good too. Depends what yours wants. Good luck------

Have to go with bigcountry. Shoot 47 gr imr 4350 and 140gr game kings. Can cover 5 shots with a dime at 100yds. Free floated the barrel and set the trigger at 3 lbs. Great little gun.

I"™ve had good results with RL19 for 140 gr. Accubond but the best I"™ve had so far is with IMR-4350 and the 160 gr. Game king. I guess I"™m just going have to try the 140 gr. Game King to compare...

rjhans53.
Where did You find the load data for W 748. I have a couple of pounds at the shop. I was using it to reload a 308. Is W 748 safe. What is the min and max loads You used and what bullets and weights. I know it works great in My 308 with 150 G Speer hot cores. Thanks !!
