[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2510847, member: 104437"] To answer, the blurs, Question,.. The "other Problem" with, Tikka's, specifically in 7M-08, is that, the Leade Angle is STEEP at, 3* and NOT, the Typical 1*- 30 Min. that, most Chamber's, have. My son rented, a Reamer and Hand Reamed / Polished, his 7mm barrel's chamber to, the better Leade Angle to shoot, the Higher BC, / Longer, VLD "type" Bullets with, a Tangent Ogive design ! Hybrid's and most other, Hunting Bullets ( like AccuBonds / Bal Tip's ) are of, Secant Ogive, Design, and will work fine, in the 7-08 without reaming. He's found, an accurate, 168 grain, Berger H-VLD, Bullet / Load combo with, a near Max. Load of StaBall that, should "reach out" even further than the 150 gr. ELD- X load . My Son "found" and researched this "Issue" when, attempting to get the higher BC, 162 grain, ELD-X's to "shoot" ! Real freakin' frustrating, for him until, he studied the Tikka 7-08's Chambers, Leade, Dimensions ! [/QUOTE]
