The original family 7-08 is probably going to become my go to deer rifle or at least a back up, and the one I got my son will be his for sure!!

I bought my first 7-08 as a family deer cartridge. I was tired of taking a 243 and one my rifles (270,30-06 etc) when I would take my son hunting. I loaded it with 120 gr Nosler ballistic tips and the first season we had it it accounted for 7 deer. I shot one and my wife and son shot the rest. I...

The dang bikini tops took this thread the wrong way fast!! I started reading trying to think about how to help you, now I am thinking about............LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a box of 125 gr Accubonds as well as a bag of nosler second 125 gr accubonds. I plan to work up some loads with them.

I have some 125 gr SST's and decided to try 46 gr of H4895. Bingo! First try yielded a 3 shot group of 0.685 inches. Appreciate all of the great input from you guys!

Thanks for all of the information!!

Yes Fotis, the chrono MV average of this load from a 4 shot group was 3025 fps.

Thanks for the info! I am pretty new and inexperienced at reloading for the 308. Eager to learn!

I want to load either the 130 gr Barnes TTSX, 125 gr Accubond or 150 gr Ballistic Tip in a 308win. I have some powders on hand to try but I have quite a bit of Reloader 16. Anyone tried R16 in 308? Alliant only lists data for R15 and R17 in 308win. Other powders I can try are Varget, IMR 4064...

I had nine pieces of brass left in a batch that needed to be shot in order for me to resize all of the brass in that 7-08 box. So I decided to do a little velocity testing. I created three 3 shot groups with 3 different powders, R16, R17, H4350 with a 140 Nosler ballistic tip. I loaded each...

Yes, some. I was able to buy some 6.5mm 140 gr ballistic tips today from Midway.

I am betting you get some killer velocities with those long tubes!!!

I agree and understand what you guys are taking about regarding loading manuals and the data they publish. I always use the guides as a starting point for me to develop safe loads. However, I just find it pretty senseless for Nosler to publish data for a 7mm-08 using a 26 inch barrel when 99%...

Great job and great story!! Very happy for you and your girls!!

I spend a lot of time researching reloading data. Mainly because I like to learn and my wife is either reading or watching something I don't care to watch on TV. As I look at the 7-08 nosler reloading data I notice that their test barrel is a 26 inch Wiseman barrel. How many people have ever...

I have had some very good luck with 95 gr bullets in the 243 using Reloader 19 and IMR 4831.

My son is getting a Browning X-Bolt composite stalker in 7-08 with a vortex scope and my daughter is getting a savage axis 2 xp in 6.5 creedmoor with a vortex scope. My mom expressed interest in getting my son one "big" gift this year instead of a bunch of small gifts. So he is a getting a CVA...

Cabelas had a black Friday deal of a savage axis 2 for $299.99 if the buyer used their cabela's club credit card. Since my daughter got her first deer this year I decided I would get her a new rifle for Christmas and figured since they were so cheap I would grab a 308 as well. I had been wanting...

Thank you so much sir!!

Brand new to trying Ramshot Hunter. Was wanting to try it in my 7-08 with a 120 gr Nosler Ballistic tip. 22 inch barrel 1 in 9.5 twist. Can't find any data for this combo. If this is a dumb idea just tell me.
