Congrats to them both.
I've been concerned also with the powder situation. I've used Varget almost exclusively in the 7mm-08 so that's what I have lots of. I'm wondering it I will run out of space in the case with it. I guess I need to sift through the load data link and see what others have found.I would like to try the absolute only thing is it Mentions you may need a fast powder which I don't have right now. That and I think they maybe a bit long for my 7wsm. My max col is 2.840"
At least you got enough powder, I'm down to about half pound each of the main powders I use. I use imr 4350 in a lot of things and should get a keg when I have the money and see some. At least for your 7-08 there's a bunch of powders.I've been concerned also with the powder situation. I've used Varget almost exclusively in the 7mm-08 so that's what I have lots of.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but what was your velocity and case fill percentages like with the 120 hammers and the Varget?We loaded her 7-08 with Varget and the 6.5 CM with H4350. We are almost out of Varget.
nice setup, I've been wanting a kimber in 7-08 for my crap weather rifle. 7-08 is probably the best possible deer round.Fierce Edge 7-08
45gr of Varget (still plenty of room in the case for more powder)
OAL 2.264
.02 off the lands, still plenty of room in magazine, no cycling issues
I tried 46gr with no case issues. The bolt seemed a little tight....not sure if it really was or I was just thinking it was since I was paying so much attention to it and trying to find pressure signs.
They do tremendous damage. I hit bone on my pronghorn 1.5 weeks ago. Hard quartered towards me on a slight incline. I put it through his chest and it came out his spine. It hit ribs first. Lungs shredded.She tucked it up in the armpit so it didn't hit any solid bone. I would say the exit was about 2" circle with much trauma inside.
great damage, they really seem far superior to a Barnes type bullet. When they shed the front they must hit every bloodvessle in the impact area and the base still goes onThey do tremendous damage.

I personally think they are the closest thing to a perfect hunting bullet.great damage, they really seem far superior to a Barnes type bullet. When they shed the front they must hit every bloodvessle in the impact area and the base still goes on
