I have two 7-08s and they like two different things. My factory rem 700 7-08 likes 45 gr. of RL-15 and it shoots little bitty groups. I havent had one run yet that i hit a shoulder on. Now my other rem 700 with a kreiger on it wont shoot varget, imr 4350, or RL-15, but it loves 47.4 gr. of Win 760 with 140gr sierra BTSP. Both are book max loads so work up, but i have no pressure signs. The 7-08 has turned into my favorite deer rifle.
