Wouldn't shortening OAL increase pressure though?

I've shot that bullet a fair bit in my 7mm-08. It's a nice bullet and a great deal. I was generally able to get it shooting well. Good luck!

So, I'd appreciate a few other perspectives. I'm in the process of working up a load for my new hunting rifle (Tikka T3x lite in 7mm-08). I've been working with the 140 grain E-tip and found a promising load that I'd like to play with more. The load is: 140 E-tip, 41.5 grains varget @2.775"...

Are you saying that there's a new version of the book that has the H 4350 data for 140 grain bullets, now? I called Nosler the other day and they said they didn't. They recommended I use the 140 and 145 grain data on the Hodgdon website as guidance, which I can do, I just like having as much...

Never tried it, but it strikes me as a waste of money. One of the beauties of a round like the .35 Rem is that just about any bullet will hold together well at those velocities. No need for bonding.

Mine shoots terribly, but it does the job I need it to. I keep it with just a ghost ring and a fiber optic front sight. It's my bad weather/brush gun and I only need it to shoot minute-of-deer at <100 yards, which it will do. However, I went on a kick, at one point, trying to find an...

Thanks. I do use their data quite a bit, they just don't have any 140 data for H 4350.

Fotis, any chance you'd run the same load for me, but with the 140 Nosler e-tip instead? I can't find any reliable load data for that. Thanks!

Ah, that's interesting. I wonder if my mac is new enough... Thanks, Dr. Mike.

Thanks all! I'm surprised, I thought H 4350 would push it a little faster than that. I'm guessing the LRX is a tad longer than the ttsx and might eat up a little more case capacity, as well.

Barnes doesn't seem to have any data for H 4350 and the 7mm-08. I'm looking to try the following load: 7mm-08 2.775" 139 grain Barnes LRX H 4350 22" barrel If you were willing to run that for me, on Quick Loads, I'd be very grateful!

What's the current status of Quick Loads, in terms of what platforms it's available on, etc? Last I checked, it was not available on Mac. Seems to me like it would make an excellent app, and one that just about every reloader in the world would pay good money for, if it was just accessible and...

If you wouldn't mind: I'm trying to figure out which powder I'm going to use to play with the 139 Barnes LRX in 7mm-08. (I only have 12 bullets which I got for free). Any chance you could run one of those lists of various powders? 7mm-08, 139 Barnes LRX, 2.775" Thank you!

Sounds like you can't go wrong. I've yet to shoot anything with the e-tip, but have been impressed with the performance of accubonds and TTSX's.

Mine is currently shooting 140 e-tips. Federal case, H 4895 to right around 2700fps. WLR, I think it's 2.775" It shoots right around 1" from my M-70 featherweight. I've cooked up more accurate loads using accubonds and ballistic tips, but am feeling pretty good about shooting lead-free these...
