Hoping for some of the forums more advanced reloaders to chime in.
I’m wanting real world experiences/advice as I am hoping to be loading for my 7m08 sometime between now and Xmas.
I’m planning to use 120 Nbt and/or 150 eldx.
The powders I have are 2208,2209 and superformance
What difference's should I expect between these powders?
What powders would best suit what projectile?
Any additional advice would be well received.
Thanks in advance.
I would just use 2208 for both bullets I load both of them in 7-08 with 2208 and both are awesome.Quote:

The plan is red deer ,at close to medium distances ,100-200 yards ,possibly stretch out to 300-400 if it/me shoots well
2208 for sure
ADI published data will give you a range of useful velocities
The nos 120 bt over 2208 would be my pick
2208 goes good only powder iv used in my 08 used with eldx for a short time was a cracking combo
2206H worked real good in mine with the 120gr Vmax, but I ran out and had to swap over to 2208, which also works.
2209 too slow. Mates shooting 150s with 2209 and it’s very slow
2208 and 120nbt is a great combo.
Cheers guys it looks to be 2208 is a go to .
2208 works so well in 7mm08, with projectile weights from 120gr out to 162gr in my experiance. Only 1 rifle preferred 2209 and 162gr sst
Not a powder that you have, but I use staball 6.5 with the 120 grain BT for 3080fps through a 20inch barrel with excellent accuracy. Half a grain below hodgdon book max.
2208 with 120NBT for hunting and 120Vmax for practice worked a treat for me
