#1 rule of reloading
I have decided to reload some ammo for my 7mm-08 rifle, a Remington 700 with a 22" barrel. - - - Any other suggestions on a good powder choice??? Thank you!
NEVER EVER, & I don't say never lightly or frivolously, never use just one source for load data, especially if that source is from a "favorite loads" post on the 'net.
For starters, google is your friend
You know the general weight bullet you want to load. google that weight + the caliber
When you know the style bullet (your needs may be target, as opposed to hunting) pick a manufacturer who can supply your needs best. Then go to their online web page for recommended load data.
From that data, the load that seems to fit your needs best will give you a powder to research. Google that powder manufacturer's web page & compare their recommended data (recipes) with the bullet manufacturer's recipes. The difference can tell of advertising hype, I tend to stay away from the goods that push unbelievable data.
When you decide on a starting point for reloading, DO NOT, & I say DO NOT ignore the 10* safety rule. All things vary, lot strength of powders, bore diameters, bullet metal hardness, brass volume, & primer strength, etc, etc, etc. Your gun & your methods are unique. When you find a load that does as you wish, it will be unique too
This is the other half of our sport, as fly-tying is to fishing. It's a personal thing, you do for you, everyone's needs are different.
