[QUOTE="youngtrout, post: 318302, member: 5373"] Well, I've just about had enough with a 7-08 I can't get to shoot. It shoots alright at 100, but still 1 1/2"!! Just looking for better I guess. I feel I've tried enough powders, bullets, factory ammo. Just fed up, I still may take it somewhere with a bore scope and see what they see,,,to bad too, its a shilen match on there, was expecting more but who knows the real issue. Anyway, with that out of the way. I'm looking for a new caliber, or just go back with the 7-08. I guess what I'm looking for is something that will push at least a 120gr at moderate to high velocities. I've ruled out anything over the 7mm size, I already have a few 30 and aboves. Rifle usage would be for target, maybe sheep, and a winter calling gun, could have a wolf in there (or at least I hope) But I want to stick with something that will feed out of my standard short action remington 700 with a .473 bolt face. So far on the list -7-08 -maybe .243 And I know I'm missing more, just wanted to know what others are using, any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
