Yeh, I don’t understand how people are getting 58+ of imr 4350. I just put in 50 just to see and it’s almost full. 

A quick peek at one of my reloading manuals show 7-08's Max load of IMR 4350 between 44 and 50 gr, depending on the weight of the projectile.

Thx for reply, I see 43.7-46.5(c) on modern reloading (2nd Ed). Now that I look at Hodgdon site, it says same thing.

Started this thread and asked this question quite a while ago. I ended up treating it like a 7mm-08 and shot 140's and 150's out of it. The rifle shoots great with 140 Sierra SBT's and 150 Eldx's. The rifle is topped with a Burris XTR 4-20x50 and changed out the muzzle brake to a Patriot Arms Brake. Haven't shot it in quite some time and it's actually for sale in the classified's. I used H4350 for both bullets and speeds and accuracy from an inexpensive rifle is pretty impressive. I believe the loads were 46.5gr for the 140's and 46.0 for the 150's with RP brass, and Fed 210 primers.

Thx for reply, I’m done with the bigger bullets. I even tried vibrating the powder down and only got to 2.833. With my last 3 pieces of brass I did the Sierra 140 GKs w 39.5 H4895. I should stick in that area. I didn’t even know before looking in a book that the 08 went passed 150.

I shot 168 HPBT Sierra's in my 700. Knocked down steel Rams at 500 Meters just fine. I believe they were around 2650fps.

I don't recall. The rifle had been converted to single feed and a few thousands of the lands as it was strictly used for competition.
