Has anyone loaded a 162grn Hornady interlock for a 7mm-08? I am specifically looking at a load for elk. Is this too heavy of a bullet for the 7-08? If not what are everyone's recommended loads and powders fora 162 grn bullet?
IMR-4895 seems to be a good powder as does 760 for the 7mm-08's heavier bullets. Is this a correct assumption? I have a pound of IMR-4350 on the shelf for my son's 30-06 that I could use, but I want to avoid compressed loads at this time. I am a very novice reloader just so everyone knows and do not think I should be trying compressed loads yet.
The rifle I am loading for is a Savage 7mm-08 if that matters.
Thanks
