Loading for a 7mm-08 which is new Caliber for me, new rifle with a 1:9 1/2 twist 20inch barrel. Loaded 140gn Accubonds with 46gn of IMR 4350 groups are consistent but tightest group is 1 inch, trying to figure out do i want to play with the powder load, seating depth , or bullet weight . I could try different powder but would probably have to purchase some new powders, I have other powders but none for what loading books are recommending , since most of our reloading is for magnum style rifles.
So my main question is for shorter barrels do i go heavier or lighter weight or do you think that it makes no difference. Would like to stick with the Accubonds since i have 2 boxes of them and nothing do do with them, but also know some barrels just don't like some bullets.
Thanks in advance for any help
