[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2142217, member: 109113"] The common thread here seems to be that the 7mm-08 is a very versatile cartridge, and any reasonable powder within a fairly broad range of burning rates will be well digested. 120- to 150-grain look like the best choices, and some guys even liked the 160-162's. Due to the limited case capacity, anything heavier probably won't go very fast, due to the slow & bulky powders required for the heavies not working with the limited case capacity of the cartridge. I didn't see that anybody mentioned using drop-tubes or case vibration to get more of the slower powders into the case, and that might help a little, but it would probably still max out with the 4350's the slowest really useful powder.
