Sorry to resurrect/hijack an older thread, but I just got the same rifle & am looking to load the same bullet. However, I notice that Nosler shows a COAL of 2.600" for their longer/heavier/faster-twist loadings, and am wondering what the pros & cons are using that length vs. SAAMI of 2.350" (my...
Oh, yes. I have no doubt the 7mm-08 will do well, as it already has for me many times on deer and elk (along with my 30-06). But a 160gr at 2900 (with a relatively high-BC 7mm bullet) seems like a near perfect combination of my current two cartridges. But, if I'm being perfectly honest with...
That's great information; thank you! Looking at load densities from Nosler's data, I wasn't sure if it was feasible to get somewhat reduced loads while getting decent load densities. Looks like QL + the wealth of currently available powders have come to the rescue.
I'd love to see some of...
Does anyone here have experience running the 7mm Remington Magnum at moderate to medium load levels? Articles/examples/suggestions for how to wring the most speed possible out of the 7mm RM are everywhere, but I'm wondering how it performs when loaded to more sedate levels. For example...

First off, I want to offer a big "thank you!" to everyone here on this forum. Over the last few years, I found this site to be a great source of information on loads, bullet performance, rifles & gear...you name it. In particular, some QuickLoad help assisted me in working up a great load for...
First off, want to say "thank you!" for the earlier assistance with RL-17 and the 7mm-08. I was able to work up a very accurate load with the 160 Accubond that's averaging 2720. Looking forward to using it this fall.
As an economical practice load, I was thinking of using the Speer 160gr...
Oh, wow! Thank you for the quick response.
And the results are very interesting. I figured RL-17 would be tops, but didn't expect H4895 to be so close (relatively speaking). I purchased H4895 to build reduced 7mm-08 loads for the young shooters in the family. Didn't know it had the...
When someone has a spare moment, would it be possible to get a Quickload comparison for the following:
30-06
24" barrel
W-W case
165 gr. Accubond
H4350
RL-17
H4895
I've looked at Nosler's load data for their full range of 165-168 gr bullets (which includes H4350 and RL-17). However, I'm very...
Hello!
Long time admirer of this forum; thank you for a lot of great info!
Was wondering if I could get a QL workup for the top powders in 7mm-08 with the following:
22" barrel
COAL: 2.81"
60,000 psi max
150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip
160gr Nosler Accubond
I've found a lot of threads with similar...
