[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 952147, member: 2736"] The Fastest/Hottest load I use in my 20'' barreled 7-08 for hunting is 46.5 grains of Varget, 120 grain Ballistic Tip and a CCI BR2 primer for 3155 ft/sec. I also have another good load that is slightly more accurate but also slower. It is 49.5 grains of H 414 and the same components as the other load (Except the powder). It drops deer where they stand and I have been 100% successful past 500 yards with these loads. I tried the 140s but could never get the velocity above 2900 ft/sec. The 140s did Ok but everything ran 50 to 300 yards hit dead center in the chest. (Velocity is the problem at Point of impact and if not high enough the bullets will not perform as well as they should). Warning ; These loads should be worked up to slowly. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
