I see 110gr available for the 308.Are you telling me that with a similar load to what you plan for your 7mm-08,I could have recoil close to a 223? I assume slightly more than with your 100gr bullet but would it still be less recoil than a factory 100gr 243 load assuming same weight rifles?
Several members here run low charges of Blue Dot for reduced loads. Member Seafire has done a lot of work with that powder. The only drawback I'm aware of is the possibility of double charging a case, as 16-22gr of powder doesn't fill much of the case. Others prefer RL7 or 4198, as a 30gr charge gives 30-30 performance more or less, but a 308-based case cannot hold two 30gr charges without overflowing. Less room for error. A "normal" charge of typical powders in 7-08 or 308 is going to be about 41-47gr of powder, give or take.
I ran the recoil numbers on 7.5lb rifles, one being loaded with a typical 55gr 223 load, the other being a Blue Dot 100gr 7-08 light load. Both came out to about 3.5lbs of recoil. A full-house 100gr 243 load in that instance is 8-10lbs of recoil, depending on powder charge.
I'll try to shoot you some links to previous posts a bit later today.
