[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1707989, member: 79865"] My Remington 700 used to be a 7mm-08, but I never could get it to group better than 1 1/4 MOA, so I had the gunsmith turn it into a 284. The first load I was shooting was the 140 AB over H4350 at around 2820fps; the deer I shot with that at 60 yards pulled all four feet off the ground it crumpled so fast and I couldn't identify heart or lungs in all the jello... After that I went to the 150 ABLR over H4350 at about 2750fps. That load dropped another deer at 175 yards with much the same effect as the 140 AB had before, and the cow elk at 200 walked about 40 yards before piling up. I plan to pick up a pair of 7mm-08s for my kids in the next year or so, and will probably start them out with a mild load with 120 BTs; I expect even a mild load would be plenty effective on deer out to 200.
