I have a Browning ABolt 7mm-08, haven't reloaded for it before but will have handloads before next season. I like using Barnes tsx bullets, not a ballistic fan even if they are accurate. Let me hear what you guys are shooting in your 7mm-08

But…. Nosler 120gr bt with RL15 is my favorite

I did not find the 120 TTSX to be as accurate as the 120 NBT's but Surprise, the 140's in almost anything are very accurate. If you shoot the 120's give a good look at RL15.

I like the 140g BTs in my 708 rifle and pistol both.
I used the 120 BTs downloaded to 2200fps for the kids before I bought a blackout.
The 120BTs are crazy tough bullets due to their thicker jacket than other BTs

My Browning really likes Barnes 120 ttsx with Varget. My daughter's Savage likes the 120 BTs with IMR 4064.

Btw in order of preference
A friend of mine shoots the 130 grain Speer Hot Core in his 7-08 and has been for years with good success. He has shot Speer bullets for years. They say the Hot Core is a very good bullet, I have never shot them.
This is excellent advice. Stop here.
I use the 120ttsx and 44-45 grains of RL-15. CCI 200 or Fed 210. Lapua brass.
44.0 gets me 3,050 FPS out of a 22" barrel.
I have some 120 ttsx coming, have rl15, have lapua brass, have varget also.
This is good starting point, appreciate all the help, I know every rifle is different but have a good idea of what to try, thanks again

Clean the brass by hand. Soap hot water, bottle brush. Scrup scrub scrub, rinse well, place in sun to dry.
You have a scale of some kind?
