7mm-08/ H4350/ 150gr Pill

[American Patriot]

Has anyone on here ever loaded H4350 for a 150gr Nosler ABLR in 7mm-08?

Not a lot of data out there for it. The Hodgdon site says 45 to 48 grains for a 150gr Sierra HPBT, but that seems like it may be a little high. The reloading books do not even mention H4350 for 7mm-08 until the bullet gets to the 160gr mark.

I had another gentleman tell me to start at 43.0 grains and work up from there. He said he was running the 150gr ELDX in a 7mm-08.

First off I would like to say that I would normally trust the powder manufacturer's data over the bullet manufacturer's data. The problem for me is I know too low of a load is as dangerous as to high of a load. Really I'm just completely not sure where to start out with this combination.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you sir. I'll be glad to do the reading; honestly, I may have already read it. Mainly I'm looking to see if anyone on here actually has any personal experience with it. Thanks for the help.

I've not loaded that particular combination, but similar ones. Actually hodgdon website now says start at 42.0 grains of H4350. Nosler website lists IMR4350 for that combination with a starting load of 40.5 which is similar.
