[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1818500, member: 96251"] So I got home and double checked my load I’ve been shooting in my 7mm08 it’s 42.5 of imr 4064. It’s not over max by the nosler book and shows no pressure signs but shoots vey well in my gun . So therefore I quite going up in weight. As for bullets I’ve tried 130 gr speers , 145 gr speers, 120 gr sierras, and the 139 gr Hornady, and the winner is the 120 gr ballistic tip. All bullets were tried over varget and 4064. In my rifle the 120 gr ballistic tips shoot the best . I could not get varget to shoot as tight of groups as I could with the 4064. I also was not able to obtain said velocities with the varget usually 50-100 FPS slower for some reason. My tc pro hunter has a 28 inch barrel so I do not believe barrel length was the problem . With the imr powder I was roughly 75 to 100 FPS quicker than what was listed in the books. So who knows maybe I got a bad batch of varget. [/QUOTE]
