Thread: Winchester 760 7-08

Any 1 using this combo rifle is a ruger with a 20" barrel with a full over barrel suppresser

Gidday - You don't say what projectile weight but Quickload suggests that a Max load (so work up) would be around 44.0gns of W760 behind a 160 gn projectile for about 2600 fps. Cheers

162gr eld-x yea kinda slow

WW760 was the powder factory ammo was loaded with when the 7mm08 was introduced in 1980 still a good choice
just find a load from the projectile manufacturer you are using and you can't go wrong.

Dont under estimate a slow heavy bullet.....for years i used 162gr amax @2600 and 175gr smk's @ 2550 in my 7mm08 and they accounted for plenty of Reds from point blank out to 600yds

I also found i could get more speed with W760 but couldnt duplicate the accuracy of the 2209 loads

So loaded a ladder test with it last night with the length of the eld-x projectiles from about a gr below max it was starting to compress the powder what sort of effect will this have??
