I would say it's good to go barnes 120tsx over varget ahooting a tikka t3x 20in barrel. Not sure on speed yet will test Sunday.

7-08 is kinda like a 308. It's not hard to get them to shoot.

This tikka was a little of a pain took 60ish rounds to find a load

My Tikka SL 7-08 w/22" bbl loves Barnes VOR-TX 120 grain TTSX.

RL15. Nosler 120's, Blue Tips if you have them, otherwise the regular NBT's.

If you go up to 140's, the Accubond, NBT, or Partition all work very well.

Seems to me the entire .284 family shoot extremely well.

I love RL-15 with the 120 ttsx in my Kimber.

IMR 4064 under a 140gr partition or accubond has never let me down. Dads Tikka loves that load

So looks like my speed ended up at an average of 3010fps

Well you cant blame that load if you miss! Should be flat and it should hammer a whitetail.

Gonna start on some 7mm08 loads soon, just curious what a good powder start is. Have read a lot that Varget is really good with it or but others really like Staball 6.5 or Ramshot Big Game. This is all kinda new to me so I dont have non shotgun powders laying around and cant really afford to buy a few different ones to start with lol. Was planning on using 140-150 Nosler AB or same range in tipped gamekings to start.

Varget or 4350 ought to be great for what you are looking for. Temp stable and consistently accurate

my bergara 7mm-08 didn't like anything 140 grain... but it seemed to do great with 120 NBT and staball 6.5, I gotta switch my guns after deer season because trying to shoot bobcats and coyotes it kinda makes a mess
