I am looking for some accurate loads for a 7mm-08 using Varget & 4350 either IMR or Hodgdon for 120grain to 162grain. So if anybody would like to share their loads that shoot bug holes it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Russ
 
I never got good results with Varget and 4350 was on the slow side for the 120-150 which I shoot, 4064 and h414 have been my get it done powders.

My loads are
Hornady 139 grain SPBT over 42 grains of varget into the lands with a cci 200 primer naosler brass into the lands 2.80 coal

Or 140 grain nosler accubond over 42.5 varget with Winchester large Rifle primers and nosler brass. 2.830 overall or 2.257 ogive length. This load gives me 2889 fps out of a 22inch Hart barreled model 700 and 2841 fps out of my 20 inch Hart barreled model 7. Both sub 1/2 moa with same load.
 
40 grains Varget, 168 Sierra Match king, Fed 210 primer
42 grains Varget, 154 Hornady
46 grains Varget, 110 TnT ( best coyote load ever)

Would you mind passing along your best loads with Imr4064 and H414 (akaW760) thanks Russ
 
This is with my 7-08 a few years back and I remember it was very windy that day.
