[QUOTE="Texis, post: 2725855, member: 121376"] [I]I love my 708. Do everything you want to do with low recoil, long barrel life. 140 Berger VLD Hunting with Staball 6.5 gets you 2975 fps (I’ve seen over 3000) 150 Berger Classic Hunter or ELDX with Staball 6.5 gets you 2850 The 165s lose too much speed and actually hunts shorter based on terminal velocity. These are 270 numbers pushing 7 mag numbers with much longer barrel life and little recoil. The Staball 6.5 flipped a switch on the rifle. This is with 26” Shilen 1:9 barrel. Consistent .250 groups. If you need brass badly, 308 range brass sizes down nicely. 708 comes into its own when you hand load. [/I] [/QUOTE]
