7mm-08

Savage large shank 7mm-08 part out This was a project I did just to satisfy my desire to build a rifle. Learned a lot about Savages that I didn't know going into it. Parting out to fund the next project. Open to trades. 7mm-08 18" criterion large shank heavy sporter 8 twist threaded 5/8-24...

I'm considering building a new rifle for long range target shooting 500-1000 yds. Is there a ballistic advantage of one over the other?

Hi Folks, I appreciate your time and expertise here. I am building a 7-08 for my son on a Rem 700 SA. We hunt in Western US in mostly mountainous terrain so weight is a factor (he's 14 and 140 lbs...not super athletic). I'll be going with McGowen barrels (had great success with them) and my...

Hello gentlemen, I have a dilemma and I'm hoping your expertise can help steer me in the right direction. I have a wonderful, albeit heavy, custom 280 Remington that is my go to rifle for elk and deer, but here in CA we get to hunt pigs year round and I do a fair bit of hiking, so I often take...

So I have been thinking about trying out CFE223 on one of my 7mm-08's. I want to push the light 120gr, 139gr and 140gr bullets a little faster. From what I've researched it gives about 50 to 80 more fps than Varget with the mentioned bullets. On this rifle I haven't tried Varget yet, and I am...

This past deer season I took a coues with a 168gr Berger with my 7mm Rem Mag, my first kill with a Berger and total destruction of vitals, dead on the spot. I've taken several deer with the 139gr SST with my 7mm-08 with the same results, quick kill with vitals turned to smush. Some deer with...

I'll start with this, I'm not a huge fan of mono's, I've seen them fail to expand at longer ranges, however I have a box of the 120gr TTSX that I plan on using on my 7mm-08 for Javelina. Where we hunt it's usually shots under 300 yds and I shoot them in the head/neck. In several books I see...

For a long long time I've been using IMR-4064 for the lighter 120gr and 140gr bullets with great success and I still have quite a few pounds left of it, and for the heavier bullets ranging from 150gr to 168gr I've used IMR-4350, RL19 and IMR-4895 but I am running low on these powders. I've...

Hi all, I have a couple boxes of these bullets, they're the old 160gr. HPBT, not and impressive BC but my max hunting distance is 600 yds so that wont matter much. Sierra says they are a tough bullet and that they hold together pretty well, that they dont blow up on impact and penetrate well...

Anybody out there flopping more than 42.0 grains Varget for a 150gn bullet of any sort? If so, what rifle and what approx. velocity are you getting? Thanks

i am having a custom 7mm-08 built and have already ordered a heavy bartlein barrel. What length should I have the barrel cut since I will be putting a can on it?
