my speer manual the 145 gr bullets min 36.0 max is40 and they used mag large rifle primers, 2473-2712 fps. 160 gr min 35 2281 max39 2516 also using mag primers. HORN manual 139 gr min 34.8 2200 max 40.1 2500 154 gr min 35 2100 max 39 2400 they used reg large rifle primers

I have mostly used W-W 760 in my Model 7. However,I have worked up loads with IMR-4350, 4064, and Varget that all work well with the 120 and 140 grain bulletsI shoot.

vvn550 works best in my blaser r93.half inch groups with 130gr speer Hc 140gr BT 139gr SST

I'm currently loading H414 with 145gr Speer Hot Cores. Getting around .75" groups with these at a near max load. Pushing 2875fps out of my Mountain rifle with 22" barrel.

Thank You All for Your advice ! I start working up loads today. First loads with IMR 4350 and second batch with RL 15. Thanks again.

Id take a real good look at h-380 to. Its been my powder of choice in both the 7mm-08 and the 260 for years. Runs through the powder measure super consistant. And has produced outstanding accuracy.

for 120 bt I use Varget....3090 fps and less than moa groups[]

Fl Still Hunter,

I think you'll enjoy the 7mm 08. My daughter an I both had one and wrung them out pretty good. Several deer, an antelope and cow elk fell to them. I found the cartridge receptive to several different powders and bullets, but the best accuracy and velocity were achieved with H-Varget.
