[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 81095, member: 2212"] A 7/08 is a very accurate round, but I would question the use of the 162 Amax. You have a case capacity designed around a 140-150 gr bullet. Jumping up in weight will drop your velocity to around the 2,400 fps range (Hornady reloading manual). The 280 will drive the 162 around 2,900 fps (again Hornady manual). The 280 is a much more versitile hunting round for long range hunting. Ballistic coefficient without velocity to go with it is a losing proposition. Both are needed for trajectory and energy.
