More expensive to feed, but worth it.

7-08 loads

Post by fwt1712 »

Can anyone share with me some recognised 'good' loads for the 7-08 with 130/140/168gn projies using Varget and 4350. Thanks Nigel.

Nigel:

For 140 grain bullets a load of approximately 36 grains (35.6 to 36.2) of Varget will work great from chickens to turkeys. My Tikka 595 likes 36.0 grains with Sierra bullets and 35.6 grains with Hornadys.

For 168 grainers, try 41.6 to 42.2 grains of Varget. MyTikka likes 41.8 grains with 168 gr. Sierras.

Both loads use Winchester brass and Federal 210 M primers. Bullets are moly-coated.

I hop this helps,

Joaquin B.
