Anyone have a good load they have used in a Rem Mod 7 in 7mm-08 that is good and accurate and not at the very top of the pressure range. I have new remington brass and some remington 140 gr bulk bullets. I'm just trying to save some time and effort. I am experienced in reloading.

Also same for a ruger 77/22 hornet. I have some new Rem brass and numerous kinds of 22 cal bullets. Please note what weight/brand of bullets and if .223 or .224 diameter.

Thanks for the help, folks. Don't worry, I'll recheck with loading manuals-got most of the common ones.

  For the Hornet, I use 13 grains of Lil'Gun under a 35 grain V-Max (224) and Remington 1 1/2 Small Pistol Primer. Winchester brass
  seems to work marginally better than Remington.

  I have not had any great success with the bulk bullets,but every rifle is different yours may do okay with them.
  The best load Ive used in a model 7 7mm/08 is with Nosler Ballistic tip 140 gr and 41 grs of IMR4895.
  It has worked fine not only in my rifle, but for some shop customers I loaded for, and for others I gave it to .

  Thank you both for your info. I'll get to work on it soon. This gives me a good place to start.
