    120gr in 7mm 08

    Is anybody loading 120gr bullets in the 7mm 08
    I have some Nosler bts and some Sierra Pro hunter here and 2209 2208 and 2206h [and manuals so not really after reloading manual data]
    Just wondering if somebody has some real world experience with any of these combinations.
    cheers.

    Yip. Found 2208 and 06h to be preferable over 09. 06h in particular with shorter barrel

    cheers, have just started loading some now, with the 2208
    data varies, hornady has a max of 43.7, nosler 45 and Nick Harvey 45,
    tried a coal at 2.8" with the pro hunters and very hard to close the bolt, settled on 2.730 with just a little bit of resistance.
    will try 42.5, 43, 43.5 and 44 . See how I go.
