Hornady reloading book? 100gr bullet?

[Siiri]

Hello,
Does anyone have the Hornady reloading book, and is there a 100gr bullet in there for a 7mm 08? What reloading book has a 100gr bullet for 7mm 08?
Thanks!
Siiri

Siiri,
Why are you wanting to shoot 100 grainers in your 7-08? is it just for plinking? have you been shooting your new rifle yet? The site 15Tango gave you is good info but don't use the 100 gr barns loads with hornady 100 grain bullets. When I get home I will look up hornady data for you, or buy some barns they are good bullets.

It's just for plinking. I have gone through a box of 20, just factory ammo so far. I went shooting all yesturday afternoon.

Siiri, I used the Hornady 100 gr HP back in the 1980`s for coyote. Used 50 gr AA2520, chronod at 3350, regularly put 3 shots into 1 inch at 100 yds out of a 7mm-08 Ruger 77. Haven`t tried that light a bullet in my current Stevens 200.

You are in Ontario WMU 13 which requires a special wolf/coyote tag because it is wolf breeding territory. Down here on Lake Erie we only need a small game tag, no closed season, no bag limit for coyote. Seems the more you shoot the faster they breed.

The Hornady manual gives a COAL of 2.700 for the 100 gr HP. The Ruger 77 I used back then allowed a COAL of 2.770 to have the bullet 20 thou off the lands. Different rifles have different throat lengths which is instrumental in the amount of powder you can use while maintaining safe pressures. If you haven`t determined throat length in your Savage, a safe bet would be to seat the 100 gr bullet to Hornady`s specified 2.700 and start in the middle of the suggested powder charges. Don`t know what powder you will be using. If it was me I would start at 44.0 gr Reloder 15.

Siiri,
Glad to here you have got a chance to shoot your new rifle My wife shot her bear and her deer this year with her 7mm-08 and next week she plans on harvesting her elk with it. I did load some 100 grainers with min charges for her to plink with and get trigger time in. Ron is correct it is the 7th edition hornady manual.
There are 6 powders listed H 4895-aa 2495-imr 4064-varget-rl 15 and viht-n-140
h 4895, starts @ 36.6 grains @ 2800fps through 44.8 grains @ 3300 fps
aa2495 starts @ 37.0 gr.@ 2800fps through 45.4 gr @ 3300 fps
imr 4064 starts @ 40.1 gr.@ 2800 fps through 45.0 gr.@ 3200 fps
varget starts @ 39.3 gr.@ 2800 fps through 47.4 gr.@ 3300 fps
rl 15 starts @ 40.2 gr.@ 2800 fps through 47.0 gr @ 3300 fps
Viht-n-140 starts @ 39.7 fps @ 2800 fps through 45.7 gr.@ 3200 fps
Siiri I got this straight from the hornady manual, double checked it after I typed it out and am confident I printed it correctly but feel free to double check as I am human and can make mistakes and it is your safety thats @ risk.
Hope this helps, It is easy to get confused when loading from a sheet printed off like this that I wrote so PLEASE be carefull.
Wayne.
P.S these loads are for hornady's 100 grain hp bullet- B.C is 0.279 and c.o.l is 2.700

Siiri,
I think the RL-15 or the Varget will be your best choices,maybe the H-4895.
