NOW ... Thats sweet.. seating the ball just alittle does make a differance .. ya think ?

[PA BEN]

The big pisser was when I started up the road where I shoot had a brand new Discovery Pass Required sign. Drove back to town spent 35 bucks so I could shoot.

  Was this 7mm-08 7mm mag or something else.... This is what I am saying ..Takes practice and knowing how to control breathing and squeezing the trigger and a good load to produce groups like this ......

This was shot from a Rem 700 Classic - 24" barrel. All factory except trigger tuned to 3 lbs crisp. The group was definately shot from a bench.

Those 700 classics in 7-08 were sweet! I wanted one really bad. Looks like they shoot well too!!

[BOWHUNTER45]

I sure love the remington 700... solid rig ..always shoots well and never fails ... I have 3    .270 ultra light Mt rifle - .243 ADL which has been in the family over 50 yrs and a 25-06 Mt. rifle   love them all ....My sons 7mm-08 is a Tikka 3 which shoots awesome too..Just loaded up a few but this dang rain is not co-operating to well so hopefully we can do some banging soon ..

I have a sako in 7mm-08 and love that gun.  I haven't shot anything but a few bears with it but it puts them in the dirt.

What's your favored bear load for the 7-08?

[PA BEN]

Need some time now to get her sited in.

[C-Money]

What are the particulars? I see Accubonds and RL-15. How many grains of each???

[PA BEN]

Nosler 140gr AccuBonds, 41gr's of RL-15, Win. Large riffle primer. Book says over 2800 fps.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Tiz the season to be jolly  finally got in the grove to load some myself ...

[PA BEN]

Went out and zeroed it in. 1 1/2" at 100yds. Now it's time to take the daughter out and shoot up my factory rounds so I have more brass to load.

[PA BEN]

My Ruger M77 7mm, REM. Mag. Stacks 160gr accubonds on top of each other. I use 61.3 grs of RL-19, Mag primer. I found that seating depth on my 7mm-08 is a BIG issue when it comes to accuracy.

Without starting and new thread, I tried 140 gr accubonds in my 7mm rem. mag w/65grs of RL19. 1" groups but boy did they kick.
