7mm-08 Loads
« on: September 19, 2005, 04:37:15 PM »
Just bought a 7mm-08 T/C custom shop barrel and topped it with a Bushnell 2x6x32 Elite 3200 Firefly.  The barrel is 16" overall with muzzlebrake.  Wondering what loads you are shooting out of your 7mm-08.  I loaded some 140g up with 42g of Varget.  Haven't been out to the range as of yet, just can't find the time, but really need too in the next couple of weeks as I'm going on a doe reduction hunt the first week of October.

42.0 IMR-4064 in Win brass with 140 BT. This load has worked great on 4 deer in the last 2 years.  This load produces 2500 fps. and 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards.
