Working up 7mm-08 load suggestions

[7stw]

I have used it and have no complaints what I really like to use is lapua 308 palma brass we neck down and turn the necks we have found the small rifle primer pockets hold up better

Im inclined to agree on the Lapua, but if I were to get it, I will opt for the large primer. I would have to have a shroud put in, and get smaller pin. In my rifle, as it is equipped, the small primer would cause a problem. I'll start saving my pennies. Lapua brass is the bomb. They DO make it in 7-08.

Yes sir I have heard Peterson and Starline are good
I've used a lot of Nosler brass too
Know folks that used Hornady that when it's time to trim it they chunk it

I have a box of Lapua brass on its way!
$88.00, on sale. Normally about $109!
Stoked!

I meant to say bushing, not shroud!
7-08 brass is large primer, anyway, unless you go with small primer 308.
Too much hassle!

That's a good price on the Lapua brass! Love the boxes they come in, classy. Peterson select is also top shelf brass for 7mm-08. Both these brands are easy to weight sort also (much lower spread). Dave

Chris, with premium brass, like Lapua, Norma, Nosler, Peterson, you get longer and more consistent performance. Better neck tension, firm primer pockets, case volume uniformity. And it dosent stretch, or grow to much. My pet peeves, are neck tension, and sloppy pockets.
Also, you get a lot more firings out of them as well. There's some great stuff out there.
