Question Powder for 7mm-08 loads

I need some opinions here.

With the current (high) cost of components and powder, I'm not really interested in trying out every powder that I possess as well as using up a bunch of expensive bullets.

I'll be loading 139 grain and 150 grain bullets, so I'd appreciate any opinions as to which powders have worked well for you with these bullet weights.

Thanks in advance.

hope this helps

H4350 - 48 grains under 140 grain TSX, Ballistic Tips, Cor-Lok or Bergers works the best for me. I've used 38-40 grains 335 with sucess also. I never really liked the 335 ... personal preference I think more than anything but it did work well.

7mm-08 Clint?? When did that follow you home? LoL

BTW ... what are your shifts the next few weeks? It looks like I will be spending a couple days a week up your way for the next while. Let me know when you are around and we can grab a coffee.
