[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1986590, member: 29370"] I guess all I can say about the 7mm 08 with the right bullet and bullet weight - used in the right manner it can kill HUMANELY a lot further then given credit. I proved that to myself several times including in my post titled 162 ELDM performance in a separate thread a few days ago. But don't take my word for it - go out and make some kills before saying it's not worthy. Also if you don't want to take the time to do your own killing. Read Nathan Fosters' book "the practical guide to long range cartridges" Nathan has done extensive in the field research and covers numerous calibers in that book including the 7mm08. I am also willing to argue that his kill per caliber is much higher than most any of us on the web and should be regarding as a good base line of knowledge. Once I understood what his practical application revealed it was apparent to me that the 7mm08 with the right bullet was very much under rated and if you can set your ego aside you might learn something and find out you do not need a 28 Nosler or 7mm STW especially if you can't handle the recoil and STILL be able to kill HUMANELY at long ranges. I did and I still shoot a 338 Edge BUT will not hesitate based on my results to use the 7mm08 with 162 ELDM out to 1000 YES that is right 1000 yards....the bullet doesn't lie folks. [/QUOTE]
