That's the best group I've fired with that 7/08 load. It's never been over .75" It is a little warm though, so I'd definitely work up to it. But that's where this rifle seems to likes it. I've been thinking about trying the 150g ELDX in it with H4350. I have two 8# jugs of H4350 and only 2# of...

Finally got a decent break from the heat and wind this morning so loaded up the 4Runner and took the wife's Kimber 7/08 with a freshly mounted Vari X III 6.5-20x Leupold and the new CVA 45-70 with a fresh DNZ mount and a Burris Fullfield E1 4-14x. Ammo for the 7/08 was handloaded 150g NBTs over...

Good to see prices coming back down on primers. I was able to snag a few bricks of CCI400s at bimart for $60/brick and Rem 7.5s for $75/brick. Haven't seen those prices in a long time. Still spendy, but beats $100+

I like it! Can't shoot what you can't see! Got a box of 160g TMKs I was thinking about loading up and seeing what they can do for some LR steel.

Thanks Jim! If we didn't hunt such wide open spaces for deer and elk, the 2.5-8x would be the obvious choice, I agree 100%. I went back and forth between the 3.5-10x, 4.5-14x and the 6.5-20x for a few days. I've always been a fan of the 20x variables out here, with 6x still being low enough for...

It's been a while since I've shot, or done anything with the wife's Kimber lightweight 7/08. Bought this for her as an all around rifle for deer and elk about 8 years ago. Nathan added one of his 4 port brakes to tame the recoil from a 7# scoped rifle. At the time just to get her started I threw...

That is a massive Tom! They're still the only animal in the woods that scare me...I've ever only seen a glimpse of one on a ridge before sunrise up N Fork Umatilla. I'm sure many more have seen me!

Out to normal hunting ranges, I wouldn't even worry about it. The difference is negligible on big game.

Sounds good. I'll just keep her at the lever loads then!

Got the Burris 4-14x mounted up in some leupold rings. If I was a betting man, I'd say the factory picatinny rail on this is going to be the weak link. It's pretty cheesy, and to be honest these Leupold rings aren't a whole lot better...I got everything degreased and torqued to specs, so we'll...

Great video! Always fun to watch those LR pistols in action. Very good stuff!

I would go 7/08 since I'm a big fan of 7mms. They're accurate, easy on the shoulder, and have high BCs and SDs which all translates to good things downrange on targets and big game. Why I got the wife one, so I could play with it haha.

Does anyone know for sure know what levels you can load these up to? It doesn't specify in the manual. However, my best guess and from research is that it should be able to handle the Ruger #1 loads. The reason I say that is because they chamber these in 35 Whelan. If I recall the 35 Whelan can...

I don't have one, but a good buddy of mine has one for PRS. Built off an Aero Solus with a 26" Krieger and it will put 10 shots in the same hole with 105 Hybrids at almost 3K fps. Almost makes me want to get rid of my 6 CM...

Went to the Bi-Mart this morning and wandered over to the sporting goods section for a bit. Came home with a nice little CVA Scout in 45-70. It has a 25" barrel with a brake. The wife asked what in the world do you need that for, elephants? I got a good laugh out of that. I've always liked the...
