Sep 22, 2020 · My neice has her first Bull ELK tag in Nevada and shoots a 7mm-08. The only factory ammo they could find was the Hornady 150 ELD-X I offered to reload for them and would like feedback from shooters who have used the 7mm-08 for Elk. What Bullet and Powder..... Ive used the 708 in the past but used the 120 X

Oct 29, 2018 · I found a website, Jarret Rifles, that says "Most of our 7mm-08 Imp. rifles have a fairly short barrel, usually no longer than 20", yet we get an honest 3050 f.p.s. with a 140 gr. bullet." Thats about 200 fps faster than the standard 708, which is quite a bit higher than other reports I've read.

Apr 21, 2022 · I've had a stainless 7mm-08 Tikka for about 10 years now. I'm pushing a thousand rounds through it and it is still deadly accurate. I've shot all kinds of powder and bullets combinations with zero problems. This rifle has counted for many critters on the ground. Using mostly 140 grain bullets (Barnes TSX), the farthest any animal went was 40 yards.

Jan 25, 2022 · So I have been thinking about trying out CFE223 on one of my 7mm-08's. I want to push the light 120gr, 139gr and 140gr bullets a little faster. From what I've researched it gives about 50 to 80 more fps than Varget with the mentioned bullets. On this rifle I …

Jan 28, 2005 · The 7mm-08 is already a fairly straight walled cartridge and velocity is not greatly improved by doing an AI conversion. Between the fireforming and the potential feeding problems my vote goes to - NO. Improving the 7mm-08 is like …

Jan 27, 2015 · All, I am looking for suggestions for loads people know work well with their 7mm-08. Of course I will absolutely work up my load but just trying to find a sense if there are any known decent loads that work for many people. I am looking for which powders and bullet combos to …

Apr 1, 2017 · Both use the same bullets, but the 7mm-08 has much less powder capacity, and falls under the Short Action label for hi-power rifles. Whereas the 7mm Rem. Mag. is a belted magnum cartridge requiring a long action, and obtains much higher velocities due to increased powder capacity.

Apr 18, 2014 · I found a Ruger American youth model in 7mm-08 and snagged it up in a hurry; I already have reloading supplies for it since my Remington 700 was a 7mm-08 until it got completely rebuilt as a 284 Win. I had good success with the 700, at least in terms of bullet performance, but never could get that barrel to group better than 1 1/4 MOA.

Nov 19, 2017 · I am shooting a 150gr Nosler ABLR out of my 7mm-08 at 2750fps for my hunting load. I also tried the 162gr ELD-X. I know the 150's will make 1000 yards on paper, and according to the Shooter app, should still be running 1400ish fps. The 162's would definitely do it, especially if you can load them longer than my factory mag length (2.825").

Mar 16, 2021 · I plan to use my 7mm-08 with either Nosler 140gr Ballistic Tips or Accubonds over 49gr of RL19--with muzzle velocity of average 2840fps. Range will be only 25 to 100 yards. I'm a little concerned about Ballistic Tips fragmenting at the high velocity of …
