I have been shooting the 7mm08 for a number of years. Both hunting and NRA High Power Long Range competition (2 differnt guns). Just wondering what yalls favorite hunting load is, with the 140 gr bullet.

I have had excellent results with 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips pushed with a good dose of H335 for Texas whitetails and hogs. The H335 seems to do well through the short barrel of my Remington Model 7. My also give IMR4350 or H4350 a try. Good luck!

I have used the 335 with great results oin the .223. I have been using IMR 4064 behind 140 gr bullet, to get good loads. Off the top of my head, I think it is 43.5 gr.

I also have a model 7 in 7-08 what a great rifle, i shoot the 120 nosler bt's in mine. i tried to work up a 140 load but it doesnt like them much, the 120's and the 160's work well. im bringing mine as a back up rifle on my buffalo hunt this month.
