[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 659421, member: 873"] In the woods treestands I use that 145 Speer Speer hot-Corew/760 full house and have never had a deer go any further that 3 steps most drop dead right there. It just gels the lungs. WW-760 powder is a ball and in cold weather you should use a Mag primer. I work the load up using Mag primers from the start. Some will question this. That is why the standard WLR primers are hotter than most primers...because WW makes ball powders. The BR-2 I have had good results with too. I always load just before a hunt so I know exactly what to expect from my load/test/chrono contemplating the weather will cooperate and stay in the same range. Varget works well with the 140's in the 7mm-08 and match primer. I anneal/trim the brass every 2 loadings too. I have had split necks after 4-5 loading without it. Never go hunting on 'clean' bore either. I have seen many guys wonder why they missed and I have always asked did you clean you rifle bore completely prior to the hunt? The answer was always yes as I have seen them shoot. I then asked did you fire a first shot on that clean bore and understand point of impact compared to follow- up shots. No was their answer...ehhh...wrong answer! Hunt on a dirty bore, just 1 or 2 rounds is enough to foul the barrel. my2c [/QUOTE]
