Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles New Fieldcraft 7-08: advice needed

You can just use Winchester primers period. The WLR is hotter than most of the non-magnum primers, that said, I have had great luck with regular primers in a 308 family case even with ball powders. I have used a lot of TAC, Big game and Hunter with standard primers getting excellent SDs and accuracy. Most of the time I am shooting in temperatures about 60 degrees so maybe this has some effect.

With H414 and 760 I do use WLR primers. They really seem to benefit from it but I haven't found the Ramshot powders as finicky.

Imr-4064 and the 120gn BT has been a good combo for me. Im running 41gns and getting great accuracy. Haven't worried about velocity much as this is a load for my 11 year old son.

I've got some 4064 in the cabinet, but initially, I will work with the Ramshot and 140gr NAB.....one powder, one bullet, less headaches.

My apologies, I thought you were joking. It’s a common term and WLRM is printed on the box. I also mentioned it specifically in the link I provided. No offense intended.

BG/WLRM, the combo that keeps on giving...

Thanks for sharing your results.

It's not a common term for me; novice reloader here.

I read the article at the link prior to you posting, but didn't catch the acronym.

I gave my post some thought and was coming back to delete it, but looks like you've seen it. No offense taken, I apologize for being a jerk.

No worries. I’ve only been reloading for a few years, most guys on this board have forgotten more than I’ll ever know.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions, I load for four different 7mm-08 rifles using 120 TTSX, 120 Nosler Ballistic Tip (NBT or just BT), 140 Partition, 140 Accubond (AB or NAB), and 150 ELDX.
