Awesome, good luck and hoping you have an awesome time.

Disappointing to not get the velocity you want. You could continue to slowly work up or just hunt as is. It'll still wallop anything you need it too.

Accurized anything is cool, especially 1911's. Why don't you use CCI primers?

Great shooting and wow, that 180gr is smoking! Factory barrel? 26"? Not much on this planet that'll take a 30 cal mono at over 3200 fps. Look forward to a hunting report.

Incredible views and experience!

Can't go wrong with an Accubond or Partition, no matter the caliber. Overkill? Maybe a little for deer, but the bullet is the only part of our whole hunting ensemble that actually touches the animal before we process it. I don't mind going with a premium bullet to up my odds. I've killed plenty...

Use whatever shoots best, they'll both hammer deer. Accubonds readily expand even on smaller game, I've used them on Bobcats and coyotes & they expanded perfectly. Check the Nosler website for factory seconds & blems. That's all I buy anymore because of the savings. They perform perfectly as...

Great to hear some first hand experience! Interesting that you have used the cases for so many firings. I saw where federal recommended only 3 firings before discarding the brass. Glad to hear that you can get way more out of it. What velocities are you getting with the 160's and with what...

Go with which one is available, as said above, they're all top shelf. I love Lapua and have used Norma some for my 257 Weatherby & love it so far. I haven't used Peterson or Alpha but have zero qualms about using them. Buddy is going to use Alpha 6 GT brass and it seems awesome.

Good looking rifle and groups. The 30-06 is one of my favorites, not much it can't do. How several of y'all feel about the 30-06 is how I feel about the 308. It's very boring to me, yet I know it's an excellent cartridge. I'll take a 30-06 any day though! I have one in an M70 & 15" Encore...

Definitely be a short range hammer on deer & hogs. I believe Buffalo Boar loads a similar round for revolvers.

I killed my first deer and hog over 30 years ago with almost that exact load and rifle. It always shot great. Welcome back to reloading. Like others have said, you may be limited by the box magazine of your 7mm-08. You'll just have to play with it and see. The Pro-Hunter would be your shortest...

I think it's a tall order, but you'll just have to try it. Those cast probably won't like going to same speed as the jacketed. Maybe they'll be close enough inside 100 yards to practice, but you'll have to shoot some loads to find out.

May be worth reaching out to Remington. Have you tried seating them in other brass?

Between the mag primer and I'd bet that 140gr TGK being as long or longer than a 150gr Partition, definitely need to start lower. R22 can be very good in the 270 with heavier bullets as well. Steve99, which 140gr Hornady bullet?
