[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1982205, member: 19988"] Easy 7-08. Ammo easy to find bullets in the 140 -168 grain mark. 140 grain will handle everything is North America. If need be could use in Africa minuses the big 5. I load my dads 7-08 with 140 grain Berger VLDs 2990 FPS over 1000 lbs of kinetic energy at 700 yards. You could load up some 168 grain and get around 2800 FPS and have just over 1200 lbs of kinetic energy. This is all with a 24” barrel. If you drop down to a 20” barrel you will save some weight, but you will give up around 100 FPS. [/QUOTE]
