150 gr. ELD X in a 7mm-08

[PaLuke]

Hello. Any chance anyone has data for the 150 ELDX in a 7mm-08. I emailed Hornady and I'm sure they are busy now so no answer as of yet. Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas.

Could I use their 154 gr. SST data as a starting point? Hopefully I'll hear from Hornady today. Thanks again.

I would consult other load manuals such as Sierra or go online at Nosler and you should find the 7 08 and 150 grain bullet this will give you a minimum and maximum starting point for the several powders that would be listed. My Sierra manual shows minimum of IMR 4350 37.7 2400fps and maximum of 44.2 2700 fps. Always start low and work up. There are a lot of different powders listed.

Thank you very much for the reply. I'll take your advice and check the different loading manuals and go from there. Thanks again.

I have several manuals. Is there a powder you had in mind?

 

[PaLuke]

I have Varget, H414, H4350 and Reloader 17. Thanks again.

I've checked these to the best of my ability but use at your own risk. Keep us posted on how it turns out. I load for 4 different 7mm-08's, might be a good bullet for us to try.

Next time you're there can you tell the manager they have the wrong name on one of their displays? My buck is there under "Walter Spears", I'm no walt but its definitely my deer 186".... correction: James

I've called them w/ no response.
