I have 3 7-08's. Actually there my kids guns! Awesome cartridge!! I have a bunch of 139 sst and some 139 interlock, I also have a couple pounds of Hunter powder, anybody tried it in a 7-08? Just wondering what or if it would work well. Cannot find any data for it. All guns sport a 22" tube. Thanks in advance
QL please for 7-08

with a 139 SP , a max load is about 108% case fill . the 139 SST max load is about 109% case fill . this is a little more case fill than I care to work with , if I can avoid it . I usually try to be 105% case fill max . I use the 139BTSP bullet for deer hunting in my 7-08 , it seems to work well .

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

I've never had any great success with trying to take X powder and trying to make it work with a Y cartridge. Yeah, I usually got something that was Ok, but the effort was never really worth it. I'd just spring for a can of Varget &/or RL-15. You have three 7-08's, might as well put your money where it will pay the biggest dividends for the cartridge.
SST's....never was a fan. Too many bullet test here that resulted in slipped cores. The 139 gr Hornady has shown to work very well in a 7-08 though.
An extremely popular load is the 140gr BT/AB with Varget. Buy seconds from SPS and save a few $$. They're about the same price as Hornady's that way.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
SST's....never was a fan. Too many bullet test here that resulted in slipped cores. The 139 gr Hornady has shown to work very well in a 7-08 though.

Thanks jimbires, Gunner I agree there are better bullets than the SST, but I got 250 of them for 20 bucks, I might as well use them, I have had great luck with deer and the 6.5 version of them , never lost a deer very few have even taken a step. I have R17 and 414 that will probably be much better just wanted to see if Hunter could even work. Thanks all
