7mm08

What is everyone loading in 7mm08? My encore loves SST. However my rem 700 hates them. I’m going to try IMR4064 and some 139 BTSP. I’m about to use this bolt gun for boat anchor [emoji49]

Does it shoot any other bullet well?

I had a buddy of mine load for it 13 years ago, and can’t remember the load. It did ok with Core-Lokt and hated Winchester. I only used 139/140 gr bullets in it. I have also done the Stoney point gauge to it.

Maybe try a heavier bullet friend of mine has a sps in 22-250 shoot's heavier bullet better I don't know the barrel twist rates in the new Remington s

Unfortunately I do believe that they are still 1:14 but could have gone to 1:12.
Too bad. Should be 1:10 like the Ruger American. Very explosive with the lighter bullets and launches the heavier bullets well. --- SAWMAN

Well IMR 4064 was the trick. 139 Gr Hornady BTSP

I can use action and i'll trade you a legit anchor!

My Rem 700 7mm-08 hates 139 SSTs and 139 SPs. But it does love 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips over Varget. Lots of white tails and rams have gone down with this combo. The furthest one went after being shot was a 10-pointer rolling 20 yards down hill!

Thanks for the info

I am loading the same combo in my wife’s 7-08 this year. Last year I had some low recoil loads for her, same bullet with IMR4350 loaded to about 2650 FPS. She shot her deer quartering to, hit it behind the shoulder taking lungs and liver, bullet exited in front of the off side hide leg. Deer made it 75 yards or so with a good blood trail. The hotter varget load should do even better!

Try 150 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and H414. I load for 2 7mm08 rifles and both shoot the 150 gr NBT really well. My exact load is 44 gr of H414 seated to 2.80".

I do very close (as laylandad above)to the same things have 5 loaded to accuracy loads meaning my rifle likes .018 jump to lands, very little, the length wont fit in magazine. Have them on stock in cheek rest.
When 1" makes a difference!

I am loading 140 Accubonds that shoot well.

I use 139 grain hornady SST with 39 grains of benchmark.
