VLD Hunting 7MM-08 loads

Hi everybody, Is it to late to comment here? I have been shooting a7mm08 since 1995 and love it. I started reloading a couple of years ago and doing good. I have found a lot of good useful info here keep up the good work everyone.
 
RL 17 will likely get you top velocities with a 140 class bullet, I get a hair over 2900 fps shooting a 139 LRX in a 24" brl.

For another 7-08 with a 19" brl, I use Varget and a 120 NBT for around 2960 fps

These are both very accurate and well below max pressure in my rifles.

IMR-4064 and Varget are provably the best out there for the 7mm-08 with the 140gr class bullets.

RL17 will give you more speed but I haven't been able to get good accuracy out of it.
