I need to find me some Big Game powder Hunter or RL15 works as well.....actually whatever you can find of the three will perform.... Hunter seems to work very well for me.

Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

Ive got a Few Accubond 140s.
Dont want to waste them as they are hard to come by .
I have Varget, H4350, IMR 4350, Imr4064, Benchmark, CFE223, Stabil6.5 powders
Wish I had some BG but will have to order some I'm my Rem 700 7mm/08 with 23" bbl, I use 140gn Nosler Accubonds and 57gns RL17 for a 10 shot average of 2865fps. 48gns of H4350 gives me 2818fps with the same bullet. With a 139gn Hornady BTSP and 47gns PowerPro 2000-MR I get 2917fps. Given a choice, cost and availability, I think H4350 is a good all round performer.

According to Alliant 46gr RL17 is max for a 145 grain bullet. I think you meant you're using 47grain of RL17 not 57?

It would be awfully hard to get 57gns of RL17 in a 7mm/08 case.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

I am not shooting 140AB, but shoot a lot of 139btsp and SB6.5 and RL16 both gave me great accuracy with a bit more speed for the SB6.5. They're both good w/ a 120BT Nosler as well. Varget has been good too.
I cannot get Big Game to shoot in mine. Anyone want to stop by? I'll make you a deal on it, well below current prices.

My go-to with140-145gr 7mm08 loads is H’s max of H4350 +/-, a CCI200, and an OAL with a rather short jump. Shot well right away in my last 3 rifles.
Now with even more aplomb
