Finally got my hands on a box of 156gr Norma Oryx to try in my 7/08's. Would the 7x57mm recipe in "The Big Book of Gun Gack" be a decent starting point (reduced by 10%)?

I'd roll with Nosler data for 160gr Partitions/Accubonds.

That's Nosler 7mm08 data, to be clear.

I would probably use 7-08 data when loading for the 7-08 as well.

Westernmassman,

Yeah, reducing the 7x57 load 10% would be a fine starting point.

I prefer the 156 Oryx to the 160 Partition in the 7x57 or 7-08, since the Oryx usually expands wider at moderate velocity, so makes a bigger hole. But haven't had as much experience with the 160 AccuBond. It might work very similarly.

So would using 160gr Nosler data for the 7mm08

Thanks for the replies. Going to roll me a few.

It's rumored that 22-250 data comes close...
