Hi Garys4307, Well I was more interested in the 7mm08/338Fed aspect than the long range. I'm not limiting myself because I can hit non-living targets at long range. I just find it to be unfair to the animal and not very sporting, to shoot a living thing from 1/2 mile away. That sort of...

Hi every one. I am a fairly new member, and have not been on here in a long time. I would like to say that in Oct. of 2011 I bought a 7mm08 with 9 1/2 twist. I sighted it in with two loads. One is the Hornady 162 gr. SP with 38 gr. of R15, and the other is with the 140 gr. Barnes TSX with...
