130g Speer btsp-7/08
42g of IMR 4895
Rem case
Rem 9 1/2
3000 fps
tiny groups
really is an excellent deer killing load, great penetration and massive tissue damage on lungs and heart
In our deer clubs, many '06 shooters were converted after borrowing a rifle of ours with this load, as deer flop. For sure. I use SB6.5 but same/same as far as results.

Bumping this up.
I was shooting my 7-08 with 139 LRX's yesterday. H-4350 grouped best at about 2775fps. Big Game got to 2875, but the groups weren't that great.
22" Montana was used.
Anyone else experimenting with these? For my first attempt with 139 LRXs in a 7-08, 4/19/24, I was getting 2925 fps with 48.2 Big Game. My only 3 shot group at that charge went 5/8" with two rounds in the same hole. I got 2990 at 48.6 BG, but accuracy wasn't there, opening up to almost 2". This was also a 22" Montana. Working with a 260 Rem this week, but I'll get back to the 139 LRXs soon.

So far I haven't used the 139 grain LRX in my 7mm08, but I have used it in my .280 Remington with 54 grains of Reloder 16, which gives me about 3015 fps with good accuracy. So far I've only killed one antelope with the load, but it performed well on the antelope and the bullet exited.
