[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1407172, member: 11011"] I have three 7mm-08's . the Tikka I shoot 139 BTSP hornady bullets . it is my carry rifle for whitetail hunting . the X-bolt I load 120 gr ballistic tips with a slightly reduced load of H4895 . this rifle my girlfriend hunts whitetails with . my third is a trued up rem with a 24" broughton in a McMillan A5 . I tried shooting 168 Bergers in it . it was accurate but I just couldn't get the velocity with the 168's . I switched to the 140 Bergers . here is a 400 yard target shooting prone with the 168's . when I brought up the speed , accuracy dropped off . I shot 3 shots walked out to check the target and came back fired the other two. I'm not sure why the last two shots changed POI . maybe puffing from the walk . you can see the velocities I was getting and you can see 9.75 elevation for 400 yards . [ATTACH]91350[/ATTACH] I switched to Berger 140's . my velocity is 3080FPS . 9.75 elevation gets me about 600 yards . it shoots under an inch at 200 yards . load work up target . upper right bullseye is my load .
