I've only loaded for a few 7-08's but it's one of my favorite rounds. For the last couple of decades I've settled on the same max load of RL-19 and 140 Noslers. BT's, partitions or Accubonds all group within 1" of each other at 100 out of my Steyr. BT's and AB's usually under 1/2" and partitions around 3/4". Getting just over 2900 through the chrono with a 24" barrel. Similar results with my buddy's Savage and Ruger's. You don't really need anything but the BT's on deer. I shoot this load pretty regular out to 600 and sometimes out to 1000.
