Anyone have 7mm-08 120 gr TTSX combos

[RobG5589]

7/08 using Norma brass and BR2's from a Tikka T3. I have H4350 and 2000mr currently. Looking for loads using either with the 120 TTSX. Other combos are appreciated as well.


Thanks

I use RL-17 in my 284, a bit faster than the 7mm-08 Rem but very similar powders used per multiple sources.

Ammoguide: RL-15 42.5grns COAL 2.815
Reloaders nest: 7mm-08 Remington @ www.reloadersnest.com

If that don't get you what you want let me know what powder and COAL and I'll see what I co e up with.

It begins and ends with CFE 223. Work up the load for your rifle.

I'd love to know the load details and barrel length.CFE didn't work for me.

Thanks guys. Looks like R15 is a good one. Going to grab some of that to try.

Yikes, that's smoking! How long is your barrel?

No kidding that's smoking!! I tried varget in my tikka and 47 gr blew the primer out of the case. With a 120bt. I have since got rid of the tikka and replaced it with a finnlight with a 20.5 " bbl and with the max load of cfe223 I get 3210fps with 120ttsx and it drives tacks.

22" Its a smoking hot load. Haven't hunted with it. In fact, I typically hunt with a kid's reduced recoil load, which is 35.2 H4895 under Nos 120 BT @ 2.73 COAL. It's like shooting a broomstick with a firecracker taped to the end. pow.
