[QUOTE="abinok, post: 68987, member: 16"] You betcha! There used to be a mojor problem in shooting a 7mm in competition of any kind... no good bullets. Today that problem is solved, great LR bullets from sierra, berger and others thrown from a 7mm08 will do pretty well at 1000. Recoil will be a bit less than a 308, especially if you compare it with the 190gr bullet many use for 1k in the 308. It will eat barrels faster than the 308, bot not by much. A friend has a 7mm08 that I load for, that is pushing the 3000rd mark with good accuracy. Are you planning on using a factory gun or going the custom route? Some factory twists won't stabalize the 180gr class bullets at 7mm08 speeds under all circumstances. [/QUOTE]
