[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1949619, member: 108965"] The 7mm-08 using handloads with heavier bullets can reach out to 650 yds with a 160gr to168gr bullet, and I recommend a 24" barrel minimum. The 2 extra inches help. My hunting rifles wear a 24", they are Remington 700 SPS'. My 7mm-08 for Silhouette competition is a Remington 700 Varmint 26", it's a very accurate rifle. This is my third one. I'm a fan of the 7mm caliber, I like the versatility of bullets available, from 100gr to 195gr, though anything above 175gr you'll need a faster twist. Hope this helps and stay safe [/QUOTE]
