[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 2142179, member: 29370"] FWIW, I run 162 ELDMs exclusively in my 7mm08. It becomes much more than a whitetail cartridge at that point. Please look at the ballistics pushing it at 2600 to 2700 FPS ( I’m at 2738) makes it lethal out to 850+ ....ask me how I know! Also look up Nathan Foster’s writing on the 7mm08 he really has a lot of knowledge on many calibers and bullet selection. word of caution : if you go with too fast of a MV ( 280 or 7RM speeds) with that bullet you’ll have to let the animal get out about 200 yards or so. At 2600-2700 its good right out the gate. ps I run 40.6 grains Varget, an OAL of 2.940 with CCI 250s and Lapua brass .3's all day long with an ES 7 [/QUOTE]
