7mm08 120 BT Quickload Request

[204Gunner]

I am getting ready to try some test loads with the 120 Ballistic Tips and wondering if someone can please run Quickload data for me. Rifle is a 20" 9.5 twist Savage M11. FWIW, I'll be using WLR primers I'd that makes any difference. Powders on hand include: H4895, IMR 4064, Varget and H4350. Thanks in advance!

I don't have Quickload, but when I had my 7-08 a book max charge of Varget was my go to load with the 120g BT's.

Try some Winchester Staball 6.5 if you can find any. Good groups and velocity in the 7mm08 I had with this bullet. Dan.

 

[jimbires]

I run IMR4064 in my one 7mm-08 . I run H4895 in another . both of these work well . in my third 7mm-08 I use RL17 , if you have that it would be worth a try too .

 

[204Gunner]

Thank you all so very much!

I've been running IMR 4064 in my 7mm-08 for over 30 years. It has demonstrated exceptional accuracy and deadly results in several rifles in this caliber using the 7mm BT 120's.
