Big Game is all I use in 4 different 7mm-08s. If photobucket wasn't the debbil I'd post pics of groups and trophies.
140 Accubond or Partition, whichever shoots better
47.5 gr Big Game
WLRM (ball powder, better ignition with Magnum primer)
2.805"
3 bulls, one antelope, a truckload of bucks...
Should you have the hankering, I'm using 46.2 gr Big Game with a Winchester Large Rifle Magnum primer and 150 ELDX for 2789 fps and little bitty groups. That's out of three different rifles, all Tikkas.

140 Accubond, 47.5 gr Big Game, WLRM primer, 2850 fps, big 5x5 bull, one shot at 225.
Same load, 303 yards, antelope herd buck, one shot.
140 Partition, same load, 2874 fps, 4x4 bull, one shot at 68.
Same load, spike bull, 346 yards, one shot.
Same load, big fork mulie, 541 yards, one shot...
I should have included the bullet, huh?
162 ELDX, velocity measured by a Magnetospeed, so I'm confident in the accuracy. This load is safe in my rifle, not yours, start low and work up.

Vanilla 7mm Rem Mag, 69.0 gr R26 gets me 3100 on the dot, single-digit extreme spread, and .539" groups. I would expect significantly more from the Weatherby. Otherwise, what's the point of the Wby cartridge?

I got this advice on another board:
The first thing I recommend is to ignore the instructions supplied with the die.
The second thing I recommend is to ignore whether or not the press you're using cams over at the top of its stroke.
The die squeezes the neck onto a mandrel, so for a given...
