I'm looking at the Nosler Manual 5th Edition. It lists the 140 grain BT and IMR 4350 powder
7mm-08 Remington. 140 BT, IMR 4350.
Start load, 42.0 grains for 2600 fps
Max load 46.0 grains for 2840 fps. They also say that the max load gave them the best accuracy.

I once had a Remington Model 7 in 7mm-08 that shot factory Core-locts so accurately that I never reloaded for it. It would keep them inside a half-inch all day long. I lost that rifle during a divorce and the subsequent financial dynamics and I'll admit that I miss the rifle a whole lot more than I miss the woman.
