[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 175664, member: 4785"] [b]7mm BR[/b] the 7mm BR would work fine to 400yards as it has been used for rifle shilouete to 500m. However if you want to step it up a bit look at the 284win as you could rechamber the existing barrel. also have a good break fitted just to make it better to shoot. Other than this you could have the boltface opened and a 7mm short mag would be awsome but probably overkill. The 284win uses the 308 boltface so it would be your best modification what twist does the barrel have 9.25? and is it 14" long if so the 284win would be awsome with 162gr AMax's. As the xp's aee single shot you can throat them out to gain the best performance. I would not worry about the 7mm08 as it will not give you much more than the 7mmBR. Go to the bigger case and you will be good to go you could also use the 162gr AMax as is in 7mmBR you will be supriesed try Varget. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
