7mm-08 pet loads??

[sureshot73]

I picked up an A-bolt micro hunter and was wondering what powder/bullet combo's are working for you? Any input or advice on this caliber would be appreciated!

My pet load may not be a pet load for you.

What you need is a reloading manual and some time at the range.

I am shooting 100 gr Sierra HP's with 45.0 gr Varget
120 gr Barnes TSX with 45.0 gr Varget.

I am also shooting 140 gr TSX with 38.5 gr RL 19


The Barnes TSX load with 45.0 gr of Varget is 1 gr over published max.

WORK UP YOUR OWN LOADS!!!! THESE LOADS WORK FOR ME BUT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU OR YOUR RIFLE >>>>> IN FACT COULD BE DANGEROUS!!!!

Thanks for the info! I have several loading manuals and have been handloading for 20yrs, i just havn't loaded for this caliber, i was just wondering what powders people were using with good results in their rifles, where in my op did i state that i didn't have a manual or go to the range?

100gr. Sierra HP behind 41gr of Benchmark - target & varminter
120gr. TSX's behind 44gr of RL15 - deer load that proved superb this season
120gr. BT's behind 41gr of IMR4320 - accurate, but BT's not my hunting bullet
139gr. IL's behind 41.5gr of IMR4320 - good hunting load

I tried Varget, but didn't get good results.

Again, at the risk of repeating others, these are my loads for my equipment, don't take them as gospel.
