I just got through working up a new load for my Mod 700 7mm08. After about 2K rounds through it, the barrel was no longer giving me the groups I wanted. I ended up with 46gr IMR 4350, Nosler 140 gr Ballistic Tip, WLR, Rem brass, loaded to a COL of 2.81. It shot a 7/16" group at 100 yards. I have not shot it over the chronograph, so I do not know the actual velocity. Advertised at 2850 or so. No pressure signs at all. The best I could get, before this, was 43 gr of IMR 4064, 140 gr Core Lokt, CCI Bench rest Primer, Winchester brass, , col of 2.82. This load shot a 7/8" group at 100 yards. Prior to all this, this rifle shot 1/2" groups with 42.5 gr IMR 4064, WLR, and 140 Game Kings. Unless you have a Remington Mod 700 with a 24" barrel, these loads may not work for you.
