Default RE: 7mm-08 Favotrite loads

ORIGINAL: claydee

We"re also reloading 7mm-08 with 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic tips. Were using IMR-4350 in various weights but not having any great grouping success.

Any 7-08 loaders out there with an accurate load we might try?????
Thanks

I've been shooting that exact same powder/bullet combo for several years out of my 700 CDL in 7-08. 46.0 gr. gave superb accuracy, but was a little slow. I finally settled on 48.0 gr., a load that shoots 1" at 100 yds. @ 2800 FPS very consistantly.
I tried several other powders and bullet combos, but will be using this one from now on in this gun.
You may want to change combinations to see what your particular rifle likes. They can be pretty finicky sometimes............
