7-08 loads

[chad]

Who shoots a 7-08? What's your loads? Havin trouble getting the wife's to shoot under an inch. Using h4350 with 150gr ballistic tips

What's the rifle?? 4350 is a bit bulky for the 7-08, have you tried h414, varget, or rl15 in it?

 

[chad]

Ruger American. I want a temp stable powder for her. I may have to try varget

have you moved seating depth around at all ? , I like H 4350 in the 7-08 nice full cases I have a criterion barreled one that shoots 168 bergers and 162 amaxes under .5 inch with H4350 and my wifes stevens 1in11.25 twist shoots the 140 gr interbonds with it very well also

 

[chad]

I haven't. There about .20" off lands now

 

[den]

I have heard that seating the bullet deeper into the case about three thousandths at a time for three shot groups can find a sweet spot

 

[Boom]

41gr of Varget under 140 Accubond has been a great load for me. Good luck!

Chad, using Varget and 140 Berger VLD @ sub moa in my grandson's American.

Dish what's your load

Some say their 7-08s love 4350, but never could get it to the velocity wanted before the case was full.

Varget and the Hornady 139btsp is a .5" consistency in my rifle. H414/760 is also fairly good with 160 class, but I've only played with it and not really worked up a serious load as of yet.

I have had mine since I was about 12. It's an awesome deer caliber. I use Nosler brass, Varget powder, Fed 210M primers, and Berger 168's in it.
