[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 2141484, member: 110228"] Loved this thread as one does not usually see much reloading info on 7-08. My experience with H4350 was that it is a compressed load especially if shooting 150 eld-x with the boatail pressing down on the powder column. I have had good luck with the IMR 4064 and the imr 4350. Thanks for the other powder suggestions as I have been thinking of trying Win 760 to get the velocity up a little on the 139 and 140 gr. bullets. I have had the sst and 150 eld-s come apart on a angle frontal shoulder shot where I hit bone but were always instance drop dead kills, was just lucky that a fragment would take a third of the heart. Those shots were over 300 yards. Kinda leaning towards the partitions, interbonds and barnes in the future. Anyways I think the 7-08 is a heck of a mid range (500 and under) deer round. My favorite cartridge in a light weight rifle. [/QUOTE]
