Alliant will send you a free loading book w/all the RL powders. Or you can buy the Barnes #4 book for $25 bucks. IME any load safe with any bullet is safe with a TSX or TTSX of the same weight. You just gotta remember to seat 40-60 thou off the lands for best accuracy.

I just got back from shooting my 7-08AI with 140 TTSX. Its an 'AI' but actually I'm finding better accuracy at closer to 7-08 speeds and my pressures are great.
I have shot Varget, H4350, and RL15 with good success in the past few weeks.
Varget and H4350 are giving me the best results.
Not sure what your 7-08 likes, but it seems like Varget is a good shooter in most 7-08's from what I've seen and read.

R-19 is good with the 140 TTSX's, somewhere in the up 40's gr. wise. I like IMR 4350 a lot also

I've used 42.5 gr Varget with 140 TSX and mag primer for a few years now. Gets 2850 fps and accuracy very good.

I have loaded 140s with Varget, but I think you will get better velocity with RL17, RL19, or Big Game.
That is great velocity that "HUNTS" is getting, with that same charge and CCI 200 primers I was down in the mid 2700s.

Stop screwing around and get some H414 and look out.
