Default RE: 7mm-08 Reloading

My Rem. 700 CDL really shoots well with 140 gr. Nosler Accubonds and 48 gr. IMR 4350. It shot superbly well with 46 gr. IMR 4350, but I opted for a little more speed with the 48.0 gr. charge which also gave respectable groups of 1" @ 100 yds. As the previous poster noted, loads given are for the individual's own gun. Your gun may or may not shoot that load as well. In any case, consult your reloading manual for load info per bullet and powder weights. If you do not have a good manual, and I recommend the Lyman book, be sure and get one before you do ANYTHING. The load that I described above is at or near max and should be approached with caution. Always start at the beginning and work slowly upwards.
I apologize if you already have read about or have a good basic knowledge of reloading. However, without knowing a little bit about your experience level, I hope you are not offended by my cautioning you a little bit.......
