Still shooting H4350 with 140-145gr cup/core bullets, using near the Hogdon listed max. Makes around 2700fps in 18-20" barrels.

My other main load is for my daughter's rifle. We shoot the 120TTSX over H4895 from a 20" barrel. 42gr gives us mid-2,800's for velocity, while 43gr tops us out about 100-120fps faster (Barnes shows 42.8 as max in a Bartlein test barrel). The 42gr load is a comfortable one, about like a good .257 Roberts 120gr load.

Another carbine just gets the 139gr Hornady American Whitetail Interlock factory load. No idea on actual muzzle velocity, but it kills stuff fairly dead for $32 or so per box. Always a decent bullet choice in a 7mm-08.


Now with even more aplomb
