Anyone have a good load for the 7MM-08 using IMR 4350 and 140 G Game Kings. I know this was brought up before but I can not find the post. Or could You give Me the min and max loads listed for this combination. Thanks in advance.
load up any old load you can find and take those Sierras to the gravel pit and break rocks into smaller rocks. They do that just fine.....then go and get some real bullets such as Hornady's interlock or Nosler's partition and go hunting.
IMR4350 starting at 42 grains and work up your load.
I have went all the way up to 48gr with no pressure signs. Really with this powder you don't have to worry so much about pressure but compression. 48gr was compressed, very compressed. But 46gr is my most accurate load. Still havn't chrono'd, but will soon. Its the only gun I got where I can say 90% of the time is a sub.7MOA gun.
You might also consider H380 in conjunction with this bullet. Flows out of a powder measure very nicely and a middle-of-the-road load gave me very good accuracy with mild recoil. This bullet seems to kill pretty well at the modest velocities of the 7MM-08. It's when you try to push it a 7 Rem Mag speeds or higher that it starts coming apart on you.

I haven't tried IMR4350 with the Sierra 140Grn yet, but got good results with that bullet using Varget. Here are some other loads I worked upfor my Rem 700 Mtn LSS7mm-08. NOTE: charges in red are over max. Start lower and work up.
