43.5gr IMR4895 with the 140's and 44.5gr RL15 with 120's.

Shot my LH 7-08 Forbes today 46.5 Grains of RS Big Game with a 140 gr Nosler Accubond went into .63" at 100 yards.

Best load in 2 other 7-08,s has been 47 to 47.5 Grains of RS BG and 140 gr. The Forbes has a tighter chamber.

I've had fantastic luck in a couple of my 7-08's using 46 grains of RL-17 and 140 grain NBT's. It's produced 5 shot groups approaching 1/2" accuracy.
