[QUOTE="Andersoj1, post: 1865386, member: 113667"] I have been hand loading and hunting deer with the 7mm-08 for years. It is a great caliber and I have found the 145gr Barnes LRX-BT to be my best hunting bullet. My best load is: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Pet Load[/TD] [TD]Nosler Turned Necks[/TD] [TD]Barnes LRX-BT[/TD] [TD]145gr[/TD] [TD]Fed 210M[/TD] [TD]CFE-223[/TD] [TD]42gr. PM 648[/TD] [TD]2,668 f/s[/TD] [TD]2.2365”[/TD] [TD]Sako[/TD] [TD]Hunting Load[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Recently, I have found the Starline 7mm-08 brass to be excellent. My chrono is a magnetospeed V3. rifle is Sako finnlight. Groups are consistently sub MOA, with this load in MY rifle. Varget and the new StaBALL 6.5 powders also work well. With a 1x10” rifling twist I cannot shoot the 168gr LRX Bullets without losing stability and keyholeing. Have fun figuring out what works in your rifle. [/QUOTE]
