Trying new bullets in the 7-08 Remington Mountain LSS 22 inch stainless. Was using 120 gr Barnes with 49 gr of 414. Shot well. But wanted to use a heavier bullet with slightly improved expansion capability, but still a premium bullet for penetration.

Decided to try 140 gr Accubond. Does anyone have suggestions on powder? I have preferences for H414 and IMR 4350 because they're dependable and I use them in my 243 and 30-06 but would be willing to try something new.

Considering my gun's barrel, suggestions please. Thanks

IMR 4350 should work well.

I use IMR 4064 pushing 139gr pills with good accuracy.

Just use your H414 for the 140gr.It's the same as Win 760 and that's a great powder in the 7-08 or 7x57.......

Ok I will try both. Just needed reassurance. Thanks everyone.

I've been loading 48 grains of IMR 4350 with 140 Accubonds OR Ballistic Tips in my 7-08
for a good many years. Both bullets shoot to the same POI with no changes. Accuracy is impressive. The rifle is a 700 CDL Rem. with a Rifle Basix trigger, Win. brass, Rem. 9 1/2 primers.

As always, start with a mid-range load and work up. To me, this is one deadly deer load and has done very well in the past...

H 4350 would work also
