Reloading for the 7-08

[C-Money]

Look at a 140 Nosler accubond with some RL-19 or IMR 4350. Should be tons of good loads. I dont figure the 7mm-08 will be to picky.

I've pretty much gone exclusively to 140 Sierra Pro-Hunters over Varget.

Let me know what happens with your reload.  I picked up a 7mm-08 a few minutes ago and I'm excited to get loading.  I have RL15, RL19, IMR4064, H414, H4895, H4350 and Varget on hand.  I'm probably going to shoot 120 TTSX or 140 Ballistic Tips.  I like expansion!

I just picked up some 140gr Nosler AccuBonds to try. Most of the loads in my Nosler book for 7mm-08 are compressed loads. I've heard bad things about compressed loads, you should keep your loads below 90%.

I've never had any issues with compressed loads. Just depends what shoots the best in your rifle.  I was shooting 140 gr Hornady Interlocks over IMR4064 that chrono'd at 3000 fps out of my 7-08.  I found too many exploded bullets with deer so I switched to Nosler Accubonds and fixed that problem.  Drops them in their tracks.
