Yes, I am at least set for two weeks of shooting and hunting for sure and see no need to panic until about the second or third day of week three. :mrgreen:

700 160gr Speer SBT for my 7mm08 hunting load and LR Duplex set up.

Man you got lucky with yours!


God new He needed to give me one rifle that shot so good that I could not let go of it and I do thank Him for his kindness. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
Looks like I better have a talk with Him for my 270 WBY coming in!

You DOG!!! you didn't tell me you had a 270Wby coming in??? :shock: :shock: Cool man, can't wait to see it. :mrgreen:
 
NO!!! Awesome, very beautiful indeed. If I did I forgot that I did because you show so many picture of so many rifles that you buy so quickly, maybe I did but it must have been a blur! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
The great news is that gun is a real shooter, the bad news is it's going to be shot out soon from all the 20 round groups :) just kidding there will be tons of barrel life in a 7mm-08. Those are some really great loads you have there, the 160 gr Speer BTSP should work very well at those speeds.

Yeah, there is a lot of life left in this rifle. And this 160gr Speer dropped a buck this year at 145yds right in his tracks, he actually leaned and fell backwards after being hit with this load and laid there dead.

I was above him so there was a slight angle downward

You got that right- you are a blessed man! Be careful J- walking....your luck could run out at any time! :grin: Nice looking rifle....great groups. CL
 
You definitely have a winning combo on your hands! I'm using the grand slam bullets in my 300 WSM.
 
That is some incredible groups! I bought my wife a 7mm-08 and have only shot the 120 and 140 BT. They shoot great! What load are you using for the 150 and 160's?

Use 45grs of W760 and 210 primers and work up in half grain increments for both the 150gr and 160gr.
 
Nice pics. I hope my 7mm-08 shoots that good with all those Interbonds I just aquired! I'll be playing around with some IMR-4320 once the weather gets a little nicer.
