[QUOTE="bgordon, post: 52139, member: 519"] I know a guy who shoots a 7mm-08 and uses the 180 grain Berger VLD bullets (.70 BC) at 2700 fps from his 30" barrel. If you actually take a look at the figures that is one impressive round. On paper it is still going 1600 fps at 1000 yards. Hugely better than the 308 parent round. Based on my unscientific watching of him shoot on the line it appears to need about 1/3 less windage adjustment for particular conditions. One of the best reasons for using it is the excellent brass that can be bought without having to neck up or down as has to be done with the 260 Remington (6.5mm-08) [/QUOTE]
