I've been shooting a 7mm-08 since 1991. I have owned three, and all shot well with a Ken Waters Pet Load: 43.0 grains of WW748 under a 139 Hornady Spire Point. I have also used 140 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips with that load. My Remington Model Seven will group them better than I can shoot. The Model Seven chronographs around 2,650 fps with an 18-1/2" barrel, and a 22" barrel is at least 100 fps faster. I also like 47 grains of WW760 with the same bullet.
