i hate to ask and I know it is not ideal for the 7mag but my rifle really likes Reloader 17. Rifle Tikka 7 mag with a 24 inch barrel Powder Reloader 17 Bullet 140 gr Barnes TTSX Primer CCI Large rifle magnum I would like to try and work up a good load for this bullet and I cannot find any load...

Was able to do some shooting recently. i have been trying to work up a 308 load with the 130gr Barnes TTSX. The rifle is a black Friday Cabela's special Savage axis 2 with a 22 inch barrel. Powder was a below max load of BL-C2. The top hole you see in the pic is a fouler. The bottom hole is 3...

1:8 should shoot anything the 1:10 will only shoot the standard 270 rounds. Go with 1:8 and see what you get.

Thanks for all of the responses and information.

As I stated in one of my goals for 2023 I want to learn the 308 I have in the safe. So I picked up some new powders to try out. Accurate 4064,2495 and CFE 223. I want to try and do a ladder test. I have done them before using my chrono and going up in powder charge .2 grains for each load. My...

Find a second 3000 fps some moa load for my 7 Mag using 160 gr bullets. I have a new 308 and a 6.5 creed in the safe. I want to learn and load some good deer hunting loads for the 308, keeping bullet weights between 125 gr and 150 gr. For the 6.5 I want to develop a load with 95 gr Vmax. For the...

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!!
