[QUOTE="Theotherdave, post: 1490501, member: 106727"] I have been running the numbers on a 7-08. With the advent of very high BC bullets in 7mm, this presents a very good option for a long range target cartridge. Just one example is Hornady's 180gr. ELD-M with a G1 BC of .798 would be an very interesting setup. Combined with some Lapua brass and some RL17 / H414 I would think it would be a very capable long range cartridge. Stabilizing that might be an issue with many factory rifles. I would think 1-8 or faster would be required. 175gr. bonded bullets with their high sectional density would also be an excellent choice for someone who needs to take some of the thicker skinned animals, where additional penetration is required. I know Sierra and Berger also have some very high BC offerings in the heavier 7mm projectiles. Has anyone got any velocity numbers on the heavier bullets in a 7-08? [/QUOTE]
