LOL. very nice. I shot my 7-08 today. everytime I shoot it over the chrony, I wonder why I own a .270 win.

Great pics Mike. Looking forward to hearing about that new 140 Sierra. Should be a really good one in the smaller 7's if it lives up to it's lineage.

Great cartridge but the Sierra just doesn't do much for me

Is the 284/140/HP bullet like the 277 version? Where the HP is the tougher and the SP the softer for more long range work? I am not sure if that applies for both the 277 130/140 versions.

One thing Sierra does is supply a section in their manual thats they discribes each and every bullets intened perpose. Humm Nosler please do this too if not just for a great read.

Does not every one pick up manuals "just for some light reading".

The 140ger in 7mm or .277 has a harder core and thicker jacket that goes through a 4 step draw and is Sierra's toughest bullet. Like I said before it is one of the three bullets I love to hunt with and the other two are the AccuBond and Partition.

Who hacked off the tip? :mrgreen:

It is very hot and humid here so I loaded a favorite charge of W760 and stop by the range and shot them on the way to work today and not bad at all, for not even working up the load. I will tweak this one. :mrgreen:

Very nice, group and pictures. Always nice to see your posts

Great pic's, of an under rated cartridge! My artistic ability in photography, isn't any where near as skilled.
However, they would look so much better with a 150 gr NPT seated.

thank you Elkman, kind of you to say so. :mrgreen:

Mike I love your pictures and have those you did for me proudly displayed in my man cave. You are so good at this in fact that I bet you could make a 35 Whelen look attractive! :mrgreen: Now that's saying something too! That should catch Scotty's attention.

Mike, you are crazy! I would call that load DONE! Great shooting buddy. Seems like you have another great 140 for the books. Are you going to put it into jugs for us or what?
