[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 716811, member: 2736"] The 7/08 is a wonderfully accurate cartrige and the Remington CDL has all of the things to be very accurate if loaded with good ammo. The factory barrels need a good break in and cleaning before they settle in and start shooting. The best place to start is to bed the action and float the barrel. When you start reloading you will find that the light, short barrel will prefer the 120 to 140 grain bullets. My most accurate load for the 7/08 is Rem brass,CCI BR 2 primers, 120 grain Nosler ballistic tips with 49.5 grains of H 414 or 45 grains of Varget. All tho the 120 seems light to us long range hunters It will accuratly hit and kill deer size game past 600 yards and normally drops them in there tracts. The 120 grain loads will give you between 3000 ft/sec and 3150 ft/sec for very good performance and trajectory. Good luck on your 7/08. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
