7mm-08 load for Weatherby

[CollegeDad]

I'd for sure try the 140 ETip in that rifle with Varget or Big Game, should work pretty good. The 132 Hammer HHT would be near the top of my list too, those HHTs just seem to work for me in everything.

I have some of the 120 gr Etips loaded with Big Game right now. I’m heading to the range Wednesday. Thanks for the tip.

@CollegeDad
How many shots are in that 1.125” group and how many groups have you shot at 1.125” with the 140 accubonds?

3 shots each time. That was the best of 3 different rounds. I’d have to look at my data to see what the other groups were.

I understand that guys like to load their own ammo. My wife and I both shoot 7mm-08. Both of our rifles shoot sub MOA with a couple different factory loads .

I agree I may be able to find factory ammo that shoots. However I’d spend hundreds (maybe a few thousand) if I bought all factory ammo and I do like to reload.

If you've tried multiple powders with multiple bullets it sounds like there are likely other issues.

People like to pretend there is some perfect specific little combo they can create with load dev but if a rifle is that finicky you can burn half the barrel life chasing your tail and never have something that always shoots. If multiple common known powder/bullet combos don't shoot without fuss, there's probably something that isn't right.

3 shot groups lie to you too. A 2 MOA rifle should throw an occasional sub MOA 3 round group because that's how dispersion works.
