[QUOTE="cape cove, post: 2512586, member: 95503"] I have had 3 different 7/08's, still have 2. With 140 gr class bullets the best powders I have used are WW760--H100V- H-380 and StaBal 6.5. From a 24" barrel StaBal will get you slightly over 3000 ft/sec, the other 3 powders mentioned will get you between 2925 and 2975 ft/sec. At least this is what I got. All powders got me sub MOA accuracy. One word of caution is that using StaBal 6.5 I found this powder spike real fast when getting to near max load. Best bullet accuracy wise in one of my 7/08's was the 139 Hornady GMX. The Barnes 145 LRX also shot real good. JME [/QUOTE]
