Yup, from an 06 started at 2700. Worked excellent on a bull at 390. I’d stay off big bones up close at the increased velocity. Once it’s at about 2700’ish I’d put it where you please.

I’d say I like to kick tires on alot of stuff but have found something 270/7mm does about everything I need to do most days. I like short handy rifles for chasing deer and typically 338/358 for those duties. But I’ve never been let down by a cartridge.

Absolutely! That’s a wicked killing bullet.

I’d start at .050 off and move in .025 increments. Bet you’ll find something you like.

I’ve been using the 140 BT and AB at 2900 with 26 in my Swede for a few years. Really is a sweet combo.

That’s a pretty easy shooting load right there.

Great shooting. That 7-08 is quite impressive for its weight.

Pretty good all arounders for sure.

Cool looking rig Jorey. I have a 2-12 on my Montana 7-08 and man that rifle is just a sweetheart.

That little 6.5 PRC is a dandy cartridge. I kinda think it’s one of the best all rounders to hit the pike out of the new stuff. I tell folks I think it’s the modern version of the 270 Win since it is able To handle really slick bullets, uses about the same amount of powder as a 270 and is...

I’d love to have to eat as well. From all I’ve heard it’s a premium meat. I’d be ears for a hunt as well. I’d take a bull or cow. The freezer isn’t prejudiced.

Agreed. That’s a deer rifle of the first order.

With any animal for me after the kill I’m usually pretty elated. Some hunts come easy and some come after a lot of sweat, cold sits, sore eye balls, etc. So while I don’t get geeked up about killing per se, that is my goal or I’d carry a camera.

That’s for sure excellent speed. Pretty much 300 wby speeds honestly. I’d gun the flat spot in velocity and tweak seating depth but from how it’s looking it won’t take much. Hard to argue with how well Barnes shoot. Awesome stuff TD.

Nice grab. Find some 300 grain Speers your 4198 will work great. They’ll rip around 2200 or so and will be a ton of fun. I love the big bores.
