[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 209488, member: 2736"] Doug For deer out to 400yrds I would recomend these 2 loads 49.5 grs H414--91/2 rem primer--120gr Nosler Blistic tip @ 3015ft/sec. Drop @ 400yrds=25.2" Velocity @ 400 yrds=2155 ft/sec Energy @ 400 yrds=1237.3 ft/lbs 45.0 grs Varget--91/2 rem primer--120gr Nosler Blistic tip @3117ft/sec. Drop @ 400yrds=22.5" Velocity @ 400yrds=2371.6 ft/sec Energy @ 400yrds=1498.4 ft/lbs The best a 140 gr will do is around 2800ft/sec with 30.7" of drop @ 400 yards and 1243.6 ft/lbs of energy at 400 yrds. velocity will be around 2000 ft/sec (Expansion will be marginal). When Nosler starts making the accubond in 120gr I will switch to it. With the 140gr loads I have tested, most deer will run 20 to 30yrds after being shot behind the sholder (Heart/lung aera),But with the 120 they normaly hit the ground where they were shot. Also I have dropped hogs beyond 450yrds with these loads. PS: The best group to date with load #1 was .053 5 shot @ 100yrds Just my experience with the 7/08 J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
