7mm-08 Remington - Handloading

Handloading

This cartridge is relatively inexpensive to reload and very brass-friendly, meaning that cases tend to last through a succession of reloads.

The 7mm-08 Remington is generally considered a good choice for handloading. The popularity of the cartridge means there is a fairly wide selection of factory loads, making it a very good choice even for those who do not handload. Bullets weighing from 100 to 175 grains are available. Bullets in the 130-150gr range will suit most hunting applications while long range shooters will opt for the heaviest bullets to take advantage of their higher ballistic coefficients. Depending on construction, bullets of 154 to 175gr can also be used in loads suitable for medium and larger game or target purposes. Medium burning rifle powders usually work best in the 7mm-08.
