I too reload 7mm-08, my absolute best load is 47.5gr of Big Game and a 140gr SGK. I am pushing an impressive 2950fps out of a 22" barrel and 3/4" groups all day, give it a try. Normaly 3/4" groups would not impress me much but considering this gun shot 5" groups with everything else I'll take those 3/4" groups any day. Start a couple grains lower because this is a max load, no pressure signs as long as I am using Rem brass but Win brass gives me a slightly flattened primer. The only other power I have had any luck with is H380, works great in all bullet weights just not as fast with 140s as the Ramshot Big Game, shot exceptionally well with 120gr using compressed loads.
