[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 818967, member: 2736"] +1 One of my favorite cartridges for all use is the 7/08. I, like most on this site like bigger bullets But for best performance I found that with the case capacity of the 7/08 the 120 grain bullets worked better than all others. (I know, It goes against logic but that has been my experiences with it). I also found the The 120 grain ballistic tip top all other bullets in accuracy and performance. The 7/08 cam push the 120 from 3000 to 3100 ft/sec with out over loading. To date the most accurate loads I have found are= 49.5 grains of H 414 and CCI BR2 primers. (One problem is that this powder is Ball powder and heat sensitive). The fastest powder with the best accuracy has been 45.3 grains of Varget (Not heat sensitive) with the same primer. In my custom pistol I have taken deer in excess of 500 yards with this combination and in rifle form 700+ yards. I am sure there are other powders that will do the job, but I am convinced that the 120 ballistic tip is the best bullet for the 7/08. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
