[QUOTE="Jluck, post: 1011072, member: 76721"] I'm in a very similar spot. I have a 7mm MAG for longer ranges and am ordering a 7mm-08 like today for my medium range work on deer size game. I personally am going with a 1:8.6 twist barrel and am planning on using Barnes 145 grain LRX. So I guess that's what I think about it. I will play with 160 Accubonds and 168 Berger VLD's but I think the 130-150 grain bullets will be the sweet spot for only having 40-50 grains of powder to work with. The 1:9 barrel your looking at should suffice just fine with composition bullets, Monos of the same (heavy) weights might not stabilize. [/QUOTE]
