Don,
Why would you want to use H-1000 it is way too slow for that application. H4350 would be much more appropriate.

I've shot H1000 in my .260 with an a-max 140 out to 600 yards that shoots verywell.This .260 is a mauser I built for hunting.I've loaded corelokts with varget,they also shoot well at 200 yards.All in all I just wanted to try it and seen if it works.I can try h4350 if you've got something for that James.Thanks Don D

You can find Hodgdon data here

I can't remember if I have loaded 139gr Hornady bullets for my wifes 7-08 or not, if I find that I have I'll post my loads.

FYI I use H-1000 in my 7mm SAUM light gun and I use a drop tube and a slow pour to get enough into it for 162 A-maxes, but it shoots well.

I worked up this load several years ago for a Wy. antelope hunt. The gun is a Rem. Mtn. rifle with a very slender barrel. PLEASE BE ADVISED, THIS LOAD IS A LITTLE WARM. Primers were fine, just a slight extractor mark on a couple of cases.

45.2 gr IMR4064, Hornady 139gr SST, CCI 250 primers. Avg. speed 2978, ES 26.6 SD 10.0

Shot was taken at 286 yards. I was aiming just behind the shoulder but the wind was stronger then I thought. Bullet entered dead center low on the shoulder, took out the top 2/3 of the heart and exited off side shoulder. The goat never took a step, fell on his nose, and kicked a rear leg once.
