[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1849157, member: 112413"] This seems to be one of the most popular calibers to be asked about. You can probably find several threads in this reloading forum. I happen to be coming up the home stretch with my own 7mm-08 and can tell you that IMR4350 (my favorite) and H4350 which is less temp sensitive but very similar in burn rate, Varget, IMR4064, and 4895 are also ones to try. RL15 and RL17 are popular also. I use 45gr of IMR4350 with norma brass and cci br-2 primers behind 140 gr accubonds. My barrel seems to like the bullets seated about .009 off lands. I may end up a couple tenth gr above or below 45gr's and maybe a little closer than .009 off lands when I finish tomorrow. Final hone in on sweetspot that the barrel likes. It is an accurate cartridge and well suited to our northern whitetails. I've hunted with this cartridge for 20 years but this gun and barrel is newer, and I'm still dialing it in. Paritions and ballistic tips work well on deer also. Good Shooting Dave [/QUOTE]
