145 or 150 grain speer hot cor does very well at 7-08 velocities. Problem is speer seems to make even fewer bullets than nosler anymore. killed two elk last year with the 7-08 and 150 ballistic tips, one at 40 yards and one at 420, perfect both times. Need more ballistic tips...
As others have said, the 120 BT is money. I'm currently loading the 123 grain sst in my daughters bergara at about 2850 fps. It's an extremely accurate bullet, but seems a little squishy on game, not really surprising as I believe it was designed for the grendel cartridge. It's fantastic for...
Good stuff. I've used it in 6.5x55 and 7-08. It's the only new brass I've used for my 7-08. Seems to withstand irresponsible doses of staball 6.5 and mag primers better than the once fired remington brass I had on hand. Nearing the third load cycle on the first 50 pieces I bought, we'll see...
been having good results in my tikka 7-08 with staball and 150 partitions. I use the m+ creedmoor mags and have enough room to reach the lands with noslers, currently running the partitions 20 thou off. I'd use the 7-08 on anything, buddy of mine's daughter killed 2 oryx with some 140...
My 150 ablr experience mirrored PJGunner, just couldn't get them to work in my 280, think I ended up giving what I had left to Fotis for the price of shipping years ago. Used the 129 ablr in a creedmoor for one hunt, extremely unimpressed, varmint bullet performance. I used what I had left...
hmmm, pondering. Notion struck me in elk camp last weekend. Suppressed is the way and the light, once you start it's a rabbit hole, but it is a number one. Earlier this summer I cut and threaded the barrel on my uncle's old remington 722 300 savage to 20", converted to 700 bottom metal and...
not sure that the jacket is any thicker on the 6.5 version. We've used them on deer and antelope with outstanding results. Usually just shy of 3000 fps in the creed, much better killer than the 129 ablr, which I hate. You won't be disappointed.
I've been loading the 110's in a couple of creedmoors this summer, they shoot really well and velocities are up there. We'll try them on some antelope and deer this year, see how they do. Played with the 124's a bit but haven't been able to match my gmx loads for accuracy yet. Might order a...
Like coop says, theres a reason the tags are available, put in for em. I'm one of the fortunate few to have been blessed with a ram tag in my lifetime, it was an amazing experience but it did alter my outlook on big game hunting to some extent and certainly my attitude about "trophies". It was...
