I'd be interested as i'm downloading a 7mm08 at min. published data @ ~2550 with win760. I'd like to go a bit lower to around 2200-2300 but don't understand internal ballistics well enough.

No not all, the only 2 I have heard of is H4985 (2206-H) as listed above, and Trailboss which will give you very slow speeds even subsonic.
2206-H is an excellent powder for the 7mm08 especially with short barrels and bullets 140Gr and under.

Sorry posted after your reply.
