Has anybody tried the Speer 130's with Big Game Powder?

I guess not many shooting 130's in the 7-08.

Sure would like some data for Ramshot Big Game and 130's.

I used the Speer 130 and 47.5 grains of Big Game during the late Obama ammo scare. I couldn't find my usual Hornady 139s, but the Speers were on the shelf. I don't have my load notes handy, so I don't know the velocity off hand. Never shot a deer with them but they were very accurate. I went back to the Hornadys the next year for no other reason than I had killed several deer with them and trusted them.

I will probably use the Speers this season in a friend's daughter's rifle.

Speer 130 BT; 45.5 grains of IMR 4064; WLR primer; .010 off rifling = 1 hole groups at 100.
