Default RE: reloading for remington 7mm-08

Geekiii - I'm not sure anyone can tell you that. I've loaded for 3 different 7-08s. A Rem 700 Varmint, a Browning Micro Hunter and a Savage 11FL. All three of them used a different load to reach there potential using different powders and bullets.
The optimum loads for these 3 are as followssmallest group size in () )
Rem 700; 39 gr of IMR4895, Hornady 139 gr SP Interlock (0.19")
Bwng MH; 42 gr. IMR4064, Hornady 139 gr SPBT Interlock (0.84")
Sav 11FL; 46 gr IMR4350 or 38 gr IMR4895, W-W 150 gr PSP (0.41" -0.35")
another decent load was 47 gr RL-19, W-W 150 gr PSP (0.97")
Once you get a load that is working pretty good for you, start tinkering with the COL - magazine permitting. A good load can get even better when its optimum overall lengthfor that rifle is achieved.
