My only Barnes manual, number 3, lists 19 powders for the 7mm-08 with 140 grain bullets; four loads are over 2800 fps. I shoot a 7mm Mauser and it prefers the 150 grain TSX but they both expand well. What this post suggests is that you can use whatever Barnes X bullet you like. You can't let velocity drop too far, but in my experience the bullets work just fine at 7mm-08 velocities at normal game ranges. Have a friend load some ammo for you.
