I have some 120 grain BT and lots of RL15. Sounds like 44-45 grain works well with that bullet? Rifle is a Sako M75 You'll kick some asss with that load and rifle.

I have a new Ruger LH 7-08 heading my way. Never loaded for a 7-08 need some loading sugestions. Have lots of RL-15 , 4320, 4350, WW 760. Bullets from 120 gr to 175. Wouldn’t go too crazy buying bullets. I have a shelf full that l was talked into over the years.

Based on Pharmsellers advice, I switched to Big Game for 120 gr NBTs...based on Beretzs's thoughts I switched Hunter for 162 ELDMs. Both worked out well. Getting 3100 fps with the 120 NBTs and 2700+ with the 162's. 20" barrel.

I'm working on a load now using big game and 120 TTSX. As of right now the most accurate load I've found with this combo is 50.0 grains of big game using large rifle primers and a COAL of 2.750. Haven't tried magnum primers yet.

I'm a BG fan, have a big jug. I shoot several combos with it, do like the 120 gr. NBT. Was trying some Sierra bullets and this load was consistently accurate out of my Hart barreled M-700, grouping tighter than my 120 gr. NBT loads. Just a 3 shot group, but I've shot a number of them, consistently half MOA, generally better. The 140 gr. SGK HPBT expands well with good internal damage and exits. I generally don't think of Sierra bullets for hunting, but this one is pretty good for WT's and hogs. Just another Loony load option. Bobby Hart built 7-08 in McM Hunter's Edge, with Conquest and Timney. DF

I have looked for those 7mm 140 HPBT GK's since you mentioned em DF and they are rare to catch in stock. I'd bet they are dandys on deer. Eventually I'll find some of them.

Yeah, finding them can be a challenge. I had some on hand, loaded them, was surprised how well they shot. Took them deer hunting, pleasantly surprised how well they performed. I generally don't think "Sierra" when considering deer bullets, but these perform pretty well, exceeded my expectations. Now, for tougher stuff, I'd probably go with tougher bullets. But, these are tough enough for local WT's and hogs. DF

For sure. I don't mind Sierra a bit, especially for bucks and such. Always been pretty good there.

But, these are tough enough for local WT's and hogs. DF To the detriment of their BC, this configuration of the Game King is relatively blunt, with a fat ogive. For my use of the .308", 165 grain version this means I can hang more of the full diameter portion of the bullet out in front of the case mouth without exceeding the magazine length limit. My theory is this aids alignment in the chamber throats and better groups follow. For my uses the lower BC doesn't amount to much.
