In a 7-08 Rem 140gr Partition 48gr gave 2862fps in a Model 7 with 18" barrel that was pretty much max in my rifle.
Ive got a bit of data with H414 (same as W760) in my 260 rem, i'll did it out. It goes really well in the 260, i also use it in my 17" barreled 284 with 162'sQuote:

I use 760/414 in my 7mm08ai but have not used any projectiles lighter than 160gr.
I get 100-150fps increase over the previous loads I had with 2209.
I used 760 for a bit when I had a 260 but couldn't get the accuracy or speed of 2209, I also found it to be really dirty and created a lot of carbon build up in my suppressor
Most ball powders are dirty bastards, it's a given fact you live with. I've found W760 offers both better accuracy & more speed than 2209 in my boys M7 260. Each rifle will differ....
I don't find it dirty at all. I haven't been using it long tho.Quote:

Yes have used in both
Works well
Funny this should come up, I saw belmont are selling W 760 for $40 a tin and wondered about buying a heap and changing over.
I was at 46gr of H414 with 123gr Amax, for approx 3k from 20" model 7Quote:

Warm loads, work up
How does this work in a 308 20+ barrel?

Really well in the one 308 that we tried it in, did a ladder test with 2208 or 2209 I don't recall now and a ladder with H414. After the first 3 shots with the 414 I could see it was the powder for it. 5 or 6 rounds of ladder in one ragged hole and higher velocity than the adi.Quote:

I guess you have to clean your barrel every now and then to know that eh? [emoji106]Quote:
