Just completed a mini ladder with the 145 LRX with Barnes recommended powder. From 42.5 to 45.5. Best was 42.5 at 1 1/2 inch. Best. Load to date with this bullet is 3/4" with rl 15. Still having problem finding much positive about Rl 17 powder.

H4895! I was looking forward to load workup when I got my 7mm-08. I started with H4895 and accuracy was so good I quit testing! Works great with both the 120 and 140 ballistic tips!

Anybody loading 7mm08 with 120's in Federal brass?
Powders of particular interest are Varget, H4895, and RL15. Precision takes precedence over velocity.
TIA

My 7-08 likes 44 gr of RL-15 with a 120 gr TTSX. Prior to this, I was loading Big Game behind a 140 gr Partition.

Big Game is my favorite in the 7/08's that I own now. Down to my last pound and haven"t seen any in well over a year. Varget, RL15 and H414 have been good ones in past rifles before I found Big Game.
