[QUOTE="Thorny, post: 1922578, member: 50431"] Well, a couple of items to mention... First, the 7mm-08 isn't too picky on powders. I have shot good groups using RL-15, RL-17, Big Game, H-380, IMR 4064, and Varget with various bullet makers and weights. Second, every rifle/barrel is different. It will tell you what it likes best, but you'll have to experiment with it. I have a Tikka T3 Lite stainless in 7mm-08. My hunting load is a max charge of Varget with a Barnes 120 TTSX. Fast, deadly, and accurate! With 140/150 grain bullet weights, my rifle is most accurate with either RL-17 or Big Game, with RL-17 giving me the highest velocities. I've noticed with my chronograph that RL-17 is temperature sensitive, but my point of aim stays nearly the same. All of my hunting has been done at 25 to 400 yards over the years, so I'm not too worried about the temp issue. [/QUOTE]
