7mm 08 ammo suggestions

[dmonty]

Recently picked up a 28 inch Pro Hunter barrel in 7mm08. What ammo do you suggest? I plan on reloading my own eventually so suggestions on loads and bullet weight/type would be appreciated also.

Winchester 140 gr PowerShoks or Federal Fusion 140 grain

Neither will break the bank and they shoot well

Whoops misread your post. RL 15 and a 120 TSX will put you in the berries.

If I was gonna reload for one I'd use sierra gamekings. If I could afford them I'd shoot Barnes or noslers but my wallet can't keep up with my trigger finger

I shoot Hornady 139 sst ammo, but when I run out of the ammo I have I will load up some Berger VLDs

 

[7mm08]

I shoot Barnes TSX in 140g. They are made by a local guy that sells them under Nitro Express Custom Ammo.

I am going to start reloading them shortly with Barnes TSX 140. I hope to work up a recipe with Varget. From what I have read, most load 42-43.5 grain and get anywhere from 2650- 2850 fps with that bullet and load.
