I just purchased a stainless Tikka T3 in 7mm-08 for my son, and will be looking to get some reloads going by this weekend so we can go out and shoot.
I would like to use the Hornady 139gr SST bullet, I have Remington brass, Winchester brass, CCI, & Winchester larger primers.
Here are some of the powders that I have on hand that I could use for this caliber, IMR 4895, W760, W748, H380, & H414, I know there are other powders that are usable for this caliber, it's just that these are what I have on hand.
Any and all opinions and experience are welcomed, especially if they are coming from other Tikka owners.
I'll be anther to actually answer the question you asked instead of giving you 3 or 4 powders that you don't have.
Of those you listed, I have used H414 with very good results. I burn a lot of H4895 (should be close to IMR4895), but prefer to used it for bullets lighter than the 139gr you have.
