H4350 in 7mm08

[Blkram]

DrMike worked up a load for Susan's 7mm-08 when she first got it with IMR4350 and 140gr Speer ProHunters. Shot very well in her rifle (Steyr Mannlicher Classic Hunter).
I hope to work up a load with the 140 gr AB in my 7mm-08. Will have to to try H4350 in it. Hopefully I can get similar performance to your 140 BT load in my Model 88!
(And I too want to produce "FOTIS" groups when I grow up!

Here was the best group with Speer 130gr and H4350. Room to tweek it.

Best group so far with this 7mm08 is SB6.5 Nosler 120gr BT. Going to trying increasing powder a smidgen and adjust seating depth. As is would be plenty good for deer hunting.

I was looking at 7-08 load data a couple days ago and StaBall 6.5 caught my attention. Your load is confirming my initial thoughts.
I'm going to get my wife a Weatherby Camelia Wilderness in 7-08 for her birthday so I'm gathering Intel.

Yes, that load would work for deer.

Jim, when you get Sue that 7mm08 try some Win760(H414) also, it has been good in the past. Have some loaded to try in this current 7mmo8.

Speer 145gr BTSP and H4350 works good in the 7mm-08 personally like the heavier bullet

Got to the range today. Not H4350 but since I started this and posted couple pictures thought I should add this one also. So far in this 7mm08, Big Game powder is the best with the Nosler 120gr BT. Staball 6.5 is 2nd and H414 is 3rd.

I have a couple of boxes of that projectile to try out. Thought for pig shooting they would do a great job.

That's a keeper load and no doubt will be wicked on WT deer.

Big Game is doing really well for me with the 139 gr SST.

They have done well for a friend of mine who uses them in his 7x57 and 7mm08. Hopefully I'll get to try them out also. In a prior 7mm08 I used the Nosler 140gr AB and BT plus the Speer 130gr.
