Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Best 7-08 bullet

What the heck does someone's equipment have to do with the fact that a huge number of people have found a given load to work well?

Add Prime Ammo to that list of examples. It shines in the same light as FGMM as it just WORKS in so many different rifles. Have seen many PRS shooters flat quit reloading their own match ammo and switch completely to Prime just to save the time/effort at the load bench.

Although I won't share loads on the internet I won't gripe at those who do. It's common knowledge to work up to anyone else's load as a basic safety factor of handloading.

Wow ! The Feral American, way to go ! Momma would be proud !

However, you can't compare the average newbie loader with thier factory rifles or better quality rifles, that aren't worked out of the factory with PRS.

Wasn't talking to you.

I know you weren't but IF you disagreed with me, you wouldn't have said what you said. I'm glad you piped down some.

In this thread you're bitching at people for sharing loads. In the other thread you're telling somebody to cowboy a load without data.

Are you fuc-king HIGH??

Pipe down? Now THAT's funny.

You need to go crawl back under your rock and stay there before you hurt somebody with what you "know".

Ooops here comes the boy in a man’s body! Silly boy, mommie hasn’t taught how to play well with others.

One load compared to multiple loads, that meatballs give out on a regular basis. Guess they have nothing better else to do to feel important. Or the silly BS you tell people on a regular basis.

Got dang, these threads are turning into a schidt show.

What has been said earlier about the 7mm-08, is just about any damn bullet made, will work great in the 7mm-08. It's harder to find one that will not work, than to find one that is the "best". Keeping in mind, that term is highly subjective when it comes to the 7mm08 and bullet choice. The one that shoots the best in your rifle, is likely the one that is going to be the best for you. Deer are extremely easy to kill, but if you are talking elk, step up to the 150 Nosler partition, or the 140 TTSX. My rifle loves both. Since this thread was brought back to light, I thumbed through the pages and all had great suggestions, with their bullet choices. Don't want to spend a lot, try an interlock of the weight you desire. Chances are they will shoot well. If not, step up to a ballistic tip or partition or Barnes TTSX. I always load heavy because I love hunting elk. Ymmv, if you only hunt deer.

Last year, I was doing some testing with the 150gr Nosler partition. Just put a new stock on one of my Tikka's. Shot in the prone, with no rear rest and off a bipod.


Ran with this load, as it shot sub moa consistently:



Had to confirm the hashmarks on the Burris:


Surprisingly, the old Nosler did well in the wind too. As I held off slightly for the wind, but it hit where I was aiming. I would not kick that out of bed, nor be afraid to use it on an elk out to 400 yards.

Oh and your posts are so inspiring and enriching

At one point I reloaded for 5 7mm-08 rifles. Four Tikkas and a Ruger American.

All five shot the same load, 140 Partition, 47.5 gr Big Game, WLRM, R-P brass, 2.806” COAL, MOA or slightly under.

And I get it, all it means is that load shot well in those rifles, no guarantee that the sixth rifle would shoot the load well.

Buuuut…

Is our newest resident answer twat still giving advice about things she has no experience with?

Beretz's pic reminds me of an old country song...

Good tune 358WCF!

You guys can’t post anything better than your mantality

Just what we need, some know it all who has to tell us we need to do it his way or we're wrong and will never reach nirvana. Personally, I like to read about what others here have accomplished. Have I ever gone that route to see if I can achieve similar results? Sometime yes and other times pass. I also think most of us here are adult enough and experienced enough to not take unpublished load data without starting low and working up. Apparently Mr. Anothergun has a much lower opinion of the people on this site. Pity!

Ones who bash the daylights out of ya are the real losers ! No life outside this forum it seems !

Kindergarten show and tell. Guy ask the best bullet and people post their rifles, loads, targets... O look here's my favorite rifle, mommie said I can't bring it to class, but Here's some pictures that will take up the whole page..... the ignore feature to hide all the BS, yeeesss !! At least do a thumb nail, sheeeshhhh.

Just shut your [bleep] dickhole already. You are an annoying twerp. I think I hear your mommy calling you for dinner. PB&J with the crust cut off.

Try a thumbnail from now on BSA it would be greatly appreciated and anyone else for that matter.

Thank you sir. That was my point. The combo works well and it is a good starting point.

Obviously start at 43 gr or so........

There are some loads that are what I call the "standard loads".
They have worked in many may guns regardless of make/model. Some examples are:

7mm rem and 160 gr 66 gr RL 22
30-06 around 56 gr of H or IMR 4350 180 gr
270 Win 130 gr with 60 gr H4831 or rl 22
300 Win Mag 180 gr and 76 gr of H4831 or RL 22
30-06 150 gr around 53 gr IMR 4064

And I have a plethora of more "standard loads". Moreover, these are the loads I work up to with new rifles, and if they do not shoot well then I know I have a super finicky or sick rifle.


In fact if memory serves well John Barness (Mule Deer) had written an article about this many moons ago.

He’s got a book about loads that tend to work.
