[QUOTE="honestern, post: 2142946, member: 56751"] I have been loading for 2 rifles chambered in 7-08 for 20 plus years. Both with 22" barrels, Savage model 11 and Remington 700. I have been loading H414 in both with Hornady 139 BTSP's and Federal 200 primers. 46.0 grains in the Savage and 47.0 grains in the Remington. The Savage chrono's at 2852 and the Remington at 2895 . Both rifle shoot between .5 and .75" at 100 yards. I wouldn't push these much more than 47.0 grains. These rifles have accounted for 5 elk and 1 mule deer. All have been one shot kills except for one elk that kept going after it was hit in both lungs. All of these kills have been kills by my daughter, a nephew and a friends daughter. The 7-08 has low recoil and kills very well. [/QUOTE]
