[QUOTE="firstshot425, post: 951697, member: 74016"] I finally got to the range today to shoot my new custom 7mm-08 for the first time. The rifle was build by Mark Pharr of Tumbleweeds Custom Rifles in Round Rock, TX. Today I was shooting 140 Sierra Pro Hunters on top of IMR 4350 and 120 Nosler BT's on top of H414. I started with the Sierra's and they did "just ok" averaging between 3/4" and 1" CTC. I've always gotten good results with Sierra's and was a little disappointed with these results; however, this was the first 25 rounds shot out of the rifle so maybe they will do a little better when the rifle gets broken a bit more. I've never shot 120 Nosler BT's before and I must say that I was very impressed. Except for the first couple of groups, they were all 1/2" or better with several "outstanding" groupings considering the rifle is still being broken in. Here are a few pics: [URL=http://s32.photobucket.com/user/firstshot/media/My%20Guns/Group1a_zps86a7cc7c.jpg.html][IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d26/firstshot/My%20Guns/Group1a_zps86a7cc7c.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s32.photobucket.com/user/firstshot/media/My%20Guns/Group1_zpsab18ee8a.jpg.html][IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d26/firstshot/My%20Guns/Group1_zpsab18ee8a.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s32.photobucket.com/user/firstshot/media/My%20Guns/Group3_zps34349fd7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d26/firstshot/My%20Guns/Group3_zps34349fd7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] To say I'm quite pleased is an understatement.
