Need loads for a Encore PH 7mm-08
« on: October 01, 2006, 11:31:50 AM »
I got a PH in .204 Ruger and it shot so well I thought I would try 7mm-08. The barrel is on its way. Does anyone have any loads that worked well for them? I did have the trigger taken down to 1.75lbs. What a sweet rifle.

I am shooting 140 gr. Sierra Game king bullets over 42.4 gr's of IMR 4064 and get sub MOA at 100 yards. Also very accurate out to 200 plus yards. You will have to see what shoots well in your gun.

No it was the standard 24 inch barrel, but it is a starting point for you. One thing you will find out is, what works for me, may not work for you even if it were a Pro-hunter barrel.
