Anyone found a good load for the Venture 7mm08 for pigs and deer? I bought a 100 pieces of Lapua brass and before I start buying components, I would appreciate a jump start.

120gr. nosler ballistic tip and 49gr. of cfe223 works great on deer have never had a chance to shoot a pig.

I believe anything from a 120 gr BT on up and anything from varget to reloder 17 , Any4350s or 760(H414) will bring you success....

You're going to love the way that gun shoots ...they're right next door to Tikka's in shooting accuracy reputation.

One thing that chaps me though. Is I wonder why they offer the 7-08 in 1-9 twist and the 7mm Rem mag in 1-10. WTF!!!

My wife and I both shoot semi-custom Rem 700s 7-08s here in TX for deer and pigs. Both guns love 140 gr Accubonds over RL-15.

140gr Accubonds and a max load of H4350 worked great in mine.

IMR 4064 with a 130 Speer BTSP or H414 with a 140 Barnes TTSX. These are the 2 loads I use in my 7mm-08.

Break out your checkbook because there are so many loads suitable for the 7-08 that you're going to invest a lot of bucks to find a best load.
I've shot deer with 139 gr Hornadys; 140 grain Rem Corlocts and Noslers; 145 gr Speer HotCors; and 160 gr. Speer Grand Slams. All deer died pronto.
Use any 4350 or Varget type powder and kill all you want without overthinking the load.
