[QUOTE="Thorny, post: 2431991, member: 50431"] I've been hunting with, shooting, and reloading the 7mm-08 for over 12 years. I've tried and shot about every bullet and powder combination one can imagine. At least in my rifle, R-17 and Big Game, have been the most accurate and fastest with 140 grn bullets and heavier. For 120's, Varget does best. The nice thing about the 7mm-08 is that it really isn't picky. Experiment a little, but your gun will likely tell you fairly fast what it likes. If I had only one powder to use for this round, I'd go with R-17. I've taken a lot of critters with this and the 140 TSX. Thank goodness I have an 8-lb jug of it! [/QUOTE]
