[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1754839, member: 108965"] I've been shooting the 7mm-08 for 35 years now on NRA High Power Silhouette Competition. It out performs the 308 and thats why most shooters changed to the 7-08 back in the 80's, so we could knock down the heavy rams at 500m, something the 308 struggled with. It had to be precise because you are shooting off hand and the bullet needs to land exactly where you put the sight at. The 150gr and 168gr Sierra Matchkings were the best for this and they still work great. If you try some of the newer higher bc bullets than probably perform even better. I use a Rem 700 long action so I can seat the bullets a little longer. You just can't go wrong with this cartridge [/QUOTE]
