[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 3063742, member: 10429"] But this has got me thinking, I now want to put out some milk jugs and see how I do. I generally just shoot paper and rocks with all the intention of practicing for hunting season or tinkering with my loads which is what I do mostly. This was my 500 yard target for my 7mm-08 with factory 150eldx the lower 2 shots. First shot completely forgot to dial/ hold for wind. Completely off target. The 3 upper ones are from my 308. I plan on refining the 308 load but the 150 grain shot really good when you remember to hold for wind. And don’t get me wrong like this never happens during hunting cause I can say it definitely does. I shot a buck at 761yrds and forgot to hold for wind and put it through the liver instead of square on the shoulder. Still dead one shot kill but yes it happens. The loaded ammo for the 7-08 is something I’m going to try and replicate. The ELDX ammo cases seem to fit a little snug in my rifle. So I think my head space is a little on the smaller end of Sami spec. Probably a good thing. The velocity is adequate for the rifle. It would be nice to have them going a little faster but it only has a 22 inch barrel. But it’s deer killing accuracy.[ATTACH type="full"]555256[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
