Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Well, that sucks, but good for your nephews. A first deer or elk is always something special.

So far my go to has been 40gr Varget and 139gr Hornady Interlock. Just under MOA at 100, but trying a few more combo's this fall. Working up a good load for my niece to shoot as I'm taking her elk hunting in two years and want to give her plenty of time to practice! I may try some of the recipe's I found here! Thanks!

Still shooting H4350 with 140-145gr cup/core bullets, using near the Hogdon listed max. Makes around 2700fps in 18-20" barrels.

My other main load is for my daughter's rifle. We shoot the 120TTSX over H4895 from a 20" barrel. 42gr gives us mid-2,800's for velocity, while 43gr tops us out about 100-120fps faster (Barnes shows 42.8 as max in a Bartlein test barrel). The 42gr load is a comfortable one, about like a good .257 Roberts 120gr load.

Another carbine just gets the 139gr Hornady American Whitetail Interlock factory load. No idea on actual muzzle velocity, but it kills stuff fairly dead for $32 or so per box. Always a decent bullet choice in a 7mm-08.

One shot each.

I've not ran it across the chrono yet but the 150 Scenar in WW brass and 46.5grs of H4350 is keeping 5 shots in the 3/4" range with my Tikka. Hopefully I can chrono it today or tomorrow.


When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Looks pretty good H. I'm getting ready to go and try some 140gr TTSX's in my 7mm08 right now. Loaded them up lastnight. .100" off the lands and ready to rock and roll. Running Big Game powder. I didn't load up much, but hoping enough to show me an accuracy node I like. We shall see.

Couldn't pass up this deal:

Bought these a few months ago. Yes, even in these hard times there are still great deals out there to be found..

140 ttsx should be quite dandy in the 7-08.

I’ll be watching. I just snagged a little 7-08 Featherweight and need a quick load to get it in deer hunting shape for the fall. Seems to shoot my reduced load of H4895 and 120 BT real decent.

Let me dig up my notes tomorrow on my load info for my 7/08 in a featherweight. It was shooting 140 Nosler bt pretty good.

beretzs, if you have some Varget it will get those 120 BT's close to 3000 fps for 22" barrel. If you have some Big Game or CFE223 either one will kick it up another notch.

It wouldn't surprise me if you found another good charge by turning up the throttle on the H4895.

My classic shot mediocre, but it was a damn nice rifle. Got it for a great deal. Someone else wanted it more than I did, so I sent it down the road:

Those fwt's are nice rifles. You 2 are good at working up loads. I'm sure you will find a great load. I pulled the old Nikon off of my 7mm08 today and swapped it out for a New Burris FFII 3-9x40 with ballistic plex reticle. I've had issues with the factory Tikka rings in the past, so I swapped those out as well. Now back to the drawing board with the 140gr TTSX. The most promising loading was right at 2,820 fps with Big Game powder. I'm hoping to try that bullet on a buck this year. Dug 2 of those bullets out of the dirt bank and they weighed 130 and 130.8 gr's. 93-94% weight retention. Wondering how they will do on a thin skinned deer or elk...

4.1 mils put me on a 12” plate at 620yds this evening. I only had 2 misses and I knew they were when the trigger broke. Shooting off a backpack and no rear support.
