Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Best 7-08 bullet

I shoot a few different 7mm-08s with barrels lengths ranging from 18 1/2" - 24". All of the rifles I own now shoot really well, all shoot sub MOA from modern rifles like Howa and Remington to the Kimber. The 7mms simply inherently accurate like their parent cartridge. Only a 1984 Model Seven in 7mm-08 didn't immediately produce MOA groups so it went to another shooter who was delighted with 1 1/4" groups for blacktail deer in BC.

Personally I prefer 120-140 grain monolithic bullets on game:




My Kimber Classic Select 84M is the most accurate rifle out of my small sample batch:





For the sake of interest many powders like H4350, Varget, W760, IMR4895 and Vhn140 have worked well for me in the 7mm-08s.
