I picked up a box of Hornady 7mm, 154 gr RN bullets on the cheap and I'd like to load up some for my model 7 in 7mm08. Have any of you used these bullets in 7mm08? I haven't been able to find a whole lot info. I'd like to use these hog/deer hunting. Powders I have on hand are IMR 4064, IMR 4895, Ramshot Big Game and Ramshot TAC. If someone could get me somewhere to start I'd greatly appreciate it.
 
The 7th Edition Hornady only lists IMR4064 of the powders on hand, the starting load is 33.7 for 2300 fps and the max is 40.7 for 2700 fps.

I have the Ramshot data on PDF and no 154 weights listed, BUT with a 160 Sierra the start charge is 39.2 and max is 43.5 with Ramshot Big Game.
