I like the plywood over drywall. Good move!

The Tikka is a fine rifle, and that will be a great cartridge that'll do about anything you require it to do.

The BLR is a fine rifle. I've owned several, all chambered in .358 Win. I worked up loads in quite a few others over the years. All shot well and were easy to carry in the field. The quality of your Tikka will ensure years of success afield and at the bench. The cartridge is seriously underrated in my estimate.

Maybe under rated but I've had a hard time finding components to reload. I truly enjoy shooting my BLR. Its a bit heavy. It's a 1981 so it's still steal not aluminum like the newer ones. Killed a good bit of deer with it also. Only had one get away and not found before the damn yotes had a party with it. Of course it was my biggest buck I've ever shot. I could not find where I had hit it after the yotes devoured it. I'll guess it was not the arrow it was the Indian. Every other deer was dropped or 50 yards topsDrMike":1ysr9k0c said:

That does look right Skookum. Congratulations.
Your reloading room is coming along great! Looks good!
Couldn't agree more. I have nothing but bench time with several 7-08's and was impressed with the accuracy and lack of recoil. However several people I load for relay the distance of kills made with those loads, and how far animals traveled after, and I've been quite impressed.
It's quite an easy going cartridge that seems to punch way above it's seemingly mild power level.
