7mm-08 Quick load data

desertcj · Oct 2, 2016

Wife finally gave me the OK to order the rifle I've been wanting for a long time now. Model 70 Featherweight in 7mm-08

They have a 22" barrel and I'm mainly interested in shooting 120gr bullets. 120gr Barnes TTSX would be my choice for hunting in my lead free state. If someone could run this through Quickload so I could get an idea of the best powders to use, that would be awesome! I've read that Varget, CFE 223 and various others are favorites. I'm just interested in seeing some data. Thanks---Phil

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 60000 psi, or 413 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
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.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

2 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 85%. These powders have been skipped.

Awesome thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for...

SJB358 · Oct 2, 2016

Congrats on the rifle. That is one I'd like to have as well.

DrMike · Oct 2, 2016

That is a sweet rifle, to be sure. I really like it. I would definitely have one if it hadn't been for the fact that every time I was ready to pull the trigger on it, another shiny object grabbed my attention and begged to be taken home.

brianwyo · Oct 2, 2016

Nothing like a new Winchester. Some of these loads could make my 270 jealous.

Gunner46 · Oct 2, 2016

RL-15 works very well in mine, with the 120 Barnes.

desertcj · Oct 3, 2016

Rifle should arrive in about a week, then starts the dreaded "waiting period". Looks like IMR 3031 is the best match out of the powders I'm already using. I'm reading that 8208xbr is a temp stable alternative(To Varget)? Varget is somewhat available at the moment so this is probably not an issue. How is RL17? I know it produces excellent velocity in most cases, but that it's sensative to temp swings.

SJB358 · Oct 3, 2016

I've never had a problem with 17 when old work was done in similar temps I've hunted in. Never noticed or observed anything funky.

jimbires · Oct 9, 2016

RL 17 is the cats meow in a 7mm-08 . I use it in one of mine and I have not had any problems with the temp changes .

desertcj · Oct 13, 2016

Got some powder on the way to try out. Varget, RL16 and I already have IMR 3031. I also ordered 100 pieces of prvi brass. Thought about Lapua, but not for now. 120 ttsx and Rem 9 1/2M or CCI BR2s. Dang, I need some dies now!

DrMike · Oct 13, 2016

So, is RL16 generally available in the States now? Maybe we'll see it in Canada before spring.

desertcj · Oct 13, 2016

I can order it by the 8lb keg right now if I wanted. I only got 1lb to try.

sockeye · Oct 13, 2016

Seems like when I make a plan for what bullet/powder combo a rifle will shoot, the rifle tells me something totally different. I have 2 7-08's, one shoots heavy bullets great and one likes the 120 gr NBT's.

Powder Valley, Inc has some in 1 lb containers as of this moment. If anyone is looking. http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/

RL15 and Ramshot Big Game have been my go-to's over the last 8 years.
43-44 grains RL-15 or 48-50 grains Big Game gets 3,000 fps or more

Got some ammo loaded up. Win cases, Rem 9 1/2m primers. Did 10 rounds 120gr Ballistic Tips with 46gr RL16 to break in the barrel. Then 3 rounds each 120gr TTSX with RL16. 46gr up to 49gr in .5gr increments. Also have some 120gr TTSX loaded with Varget. 43.5gr up to 46gr in .5gr increments. I might be a little warm on the Varget loads? All loads have a light crimp with a Lee factory crimp die. Hoping to get out shooting in the next couple days, but there is snow in the forecast tomorrow...
